Mac to Novell filename issues may block copying
Authored by: redclawx on Mar 27, '06 01:26:09PM

Yes, mounting an HFS+ disk image from the serving on your Mac and then copying the files to the mounted disk would work. Up until the point when you need to get to the files from a Windows computer. And turning on Windows File Sharing on the local Mac doesn't help either.

I just ran a test with 2 folders and 2 files. The folders and files appeared just fine on the mac but from Windows the ones with illegal characters had garbled file names:
Folders: (Mac -> PC)
Hello -> Hello
Hello/ -> H0MUWZ~3
Files: (Mac -> PC)
Hello.rtf -> Hello.rtf
Hello.rtf/ -> H0MUWZ~3.RTF
