Hi all !!!

 

Just installed Unraid Pro, enabled a few disks (no parity or cache) to starting moving my data.

I enabled user security, changed the  pass for the root and nothing else ...

Got to tell you that some of my files/directories contain greek letters but i think i am not the only one using unraid and a non latin alphabet

 

In my windows pc (My Network places) i can see Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, etc ...

I can also ftp and have the same structure.

 

I started feeding Disk1 from my windows pc using ftp.

Here are the results

--- In My Network Places and Disk1 there are data but filenames have changed (into non alphabet symbols)

--- I also checked the filenames by telnet -  also changed ....

--- I tried refresh on my ftp client and i can only see folders (not my files) but their names are correct

 

I deleted all data in Disk1 and tried to copy my files using copy paste from windows

--- Obvious in My Network Places the filenames are correct

--- Filenames are different when i use ls on them (telnet)

--- According to my ftp client there are no files in Disk1

 

 

I deleted again all data in Disk1, i mapped my Disk1 in my windows pc, i installed an ftp server and I feed Disk1 using ftp in my mapped Disk1

--- In My Network Places filenames are correct

--- Using ls filenames are incorrect

--- When i ftp in my windows pc mapped Disk1 filenames are correct

--- When i ftp to my tower Disk1 is empty

 

 

Filenames are ok when they dont contain greek letters but the ftp behaviour remains the same ( I hate attributes !!!)

 

Maybe I am doing something wrong but i just wanted to do the simplest thing

ftp my existing data from my remote pc to Disk1 and when its full to Disk2 .....

and of course i want them to be accessible from ftp clients and windows sharing

Got to tell you that I have already seen  NLS's posts and spent a lot of time around looking for a solution

I also tried version 4.5beta1 and 4.4 - different disks - different pcs and configurations  etc ....

 

I hope that I am the wrong one and I just miss a simple click (somewhere ....)

but i am sure that very soon you will respond to me.

 

Thank you in advance,

Dimitrios

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Linux escapes those characters, and other special characters like spaces (why MicrosoftCrap allowed spaces in file names is beyond me), but Samba interprets the escaped characters so when you see them when mapped through Windows, you see the re-interpreted characters.

 

FTP changes before they get to Linux.

 

But if you log into Linux, you will see the escaped characters.

 

You will also find that in Linux, files are case sensitive.

 

I don't believe FTP server on unRAID won't see the files unless you chmod them to make them readable to all.

Thank you for quick reply !

 

A few more things.....

 

a) used to have a freenas before, in this case you could ftp files (any char set) and they were accessible both ways out of the box

  Is there a setting i have to change or even a script to make this happen at unraid ?

 

b) I doesn't seem convenient to me that i log on to my unraid ftp as root, uploading files, and right after i am not able to see them.

    I think i have to chmod every time i upload a single file and thats an (useless) extra step

 

Any ideas how to transfer my music and movies that have greek letters on their filenames and also be both ways accessible ?

 

Thank you,

Dimitrios
