Description Markus Ammer 2004-03-12 07:32:05 UTC 
I have a VFAT partition mounted as /G 
/dev/hda6 on /G type vfat 
(rw,umask=002,uid=1001,gid=100,shortname=winnt,iocharset=iso8859-1 
 
It is exported as LFW_G by samba: 
       unix charset = ascii 
       path=/G 
 
Filenames like File_ÄÖÜ show up on clients (dir command), but acessing them is 
not possible (file not found). This is true for windows and linux clients. 
 
A 'dir' command shows File_ÄÖÜ, but a 'dir File_ÄÖÜ' command gives file not 
found.
Comment 1 Alexander Bokovoy 2004-03-12 07:59:23 UTC 
Have you tried to set 'unix charset = iso8859-1' instead of ASCII?
Technically speaking ASCII != iso8859-1
Comment 2 Markus Ammer 2004-03-12 09:35:30 UTC 
Ok, with iso8859-1 it works! Thank you. 
 
unix charset=ascii is mentioned in smb.conf(5) so I took this.
