b0m541 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have a number of folders, all belonging to a series of music CDs, which show the correct folder name on the server, but on the SMB clients they show with the DOS 8 character folder names. I guess there must some mapping that works locally but not across SMB. It can be probably fixed by renaming? Any explanations whats happening? Quote Link to comment
b0m541 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 The folders with the problem all had a trailing space character in the name. Remove it and it shows normal again via SMB. I guess this is a bug in the SMB server. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 It's not a bug. Windows doesn't allow spaces at the end of the name. Quote Link to comment
