Hi all,
I'm having some issue at our network here.
We have a 'pretty' big network of mac computers and laptops.
These mac's are communicating to eachother through Windows servers.
As so, we also have Windows file servers, using samba and cifs.
The problem that we have is, that windows can't replicate their files from folders which the folder or file contains / or other special characters.
Mac OS permitts these characters as valid filenames, however by default Windows doesn't.
I can't make windows give an error when mac tries to save a file with / in the on of the shares.
Is there some way I can rewrite some setting in osx to disable these characters?
I'm talking about characters like / \ & ' "
Hopefully someone can help me out here.
