If I have a file name with Russian characters in it, cygwin is unable to access it: > ls ????.TEST (Russian characters are shown as '?' in directory listing, but ls does find the file). If I try to access it, however, open fails: > touch * touch: '????.TEST': no such file or directory same deal with less, cp, rm, rsync etc. On NT4 and W2k, the same happens even with the euro character ('ยค') - on XP it works, but russian chars (among other, I guess) fail. On XP I have the newest cygwin.dll, so that can make difference as well. BTW: dir /x show an interesting short name for the file: F305~1.TES, cygpath -w -s doesn't shown anything. So is it possible to access these files (I'd like to be able to backup the workstation via cygwin tools), or is the problem fundamental? -- v -- v@iki.fi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
