Hello again,

Sorry for the long time to reply.

I've been going around on how to do this. I set up Wireshark and saw
what the server was transmitting. However I'm not really sure about what
I should send here.

Anyway I did a "ls" on a dir with a file named "Coleção", and wireshar
captured "cole \247 \243o". I send a few frames from tcpdump where that
happens.

How can I see if my distro defaults to UTF-8 on the client?

I'm using:
Linux kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64
(Debian Wheezy)
mount.cifs version: 5.5


Thanks in advance.

Does you distro not default to UTF-8 on the client?

Would be helpful to see a wire trace (ethereal or tcpdump) and make
sure the server is sending UCS-2 (Unicode) on the wire.  See

Hy,

I'm not sure of what can be relevant so I'll tell the whole story.

I have a router (that I got from my ISP) which allows the connection
of a
pen/HDD by USB. That pen is shared on the network as a Windows Share
folder.

In Windows 7 I can see all the files name correctly, but when I mount
the
drive in Linux, with the command:

mount -t cifs //<local share ip-address>/<shared-folder> --verbose -o
user=user,pass="",uid=1000,gid=1000

(there is no password)

All file names with special characters (like Çãõé...) have a question
mark
in place of the accented character and I can't open the file or
folder, as
any command responds the file doesn't exist. This happens in dolphin,
thunar
and in the command line with simple commands like cat.

I tried adding the following option without success

iocharset=utf-8
iocharset=utf-8,codepage=cp437
iocharset=utf-8,codepage=cp850
iocharset=iso8859-1

This also happens if I access the share from my android device, so I was
convinced it was a problem related to old firmware (from the router).

However, recently I connected to the drive using smbclient and the file
names appeared correctly. I would like to mount this share folder at
fstab,
and so smbclient is not a good solution.

I'm using:
Linux kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64
(Debian Wheezy)
mount.cifs version: 5.5

And I get this information from smbclient -L <local share ip address>:
(smbclient version 4.1.11-Debian)
Server=[Samba 2.2.12]

So. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks in advance.
Hi
Probably an old cifs-utils? We have 6.2 with Spanish:
steve2@altet:~> ls
aviñón
barça

HTH,
Steve
