Hi,
I have just changed my linux samba server from 2.2 to 3.0 and now i need to change all the file name which contain a "sort of apostrophe". With samba 3.0, Windows does not accept this character anymore. It appears under linux with ? or ^Y
I'm looking for a model of shell script which could automatically change this character by another in all users directories !
Can somebody give me a hit ? Thank you very much.
Some guesses:
1) Probably your locale is not set up correctly.
2) try "dos charset = cp437", "unix charset=ISO-8859-1" (the default for unix charset is UTF-8).
3) If you do want to use UTF-8 (not recommended if you also run anything other than SAMBA), you will have to rename files. You will be able to do that in a batch with the "convmv" program:

You will still have to convert all UNIX txt files to UTF-8 with iconv and throw Midnight Commander out of the window, if you adopt the solution (3).
