transfer file with accented character

**w0lfie** · 01-21-2008, 09:27 PM

I'm trying to transfer a file via ftp from a mostly-dead computer (now running Knoppix, but normally runs XP) to one with a working backup drive. All the other files transferred just fine, but there is one folder with an accented character. It will not copy, and since the ex-XP machine is NTFS, I can't change the folder name.

Am I just doing something wrong with the ftp client? Is there a setting that allows non standard characters? Or is there something else wrong?

Also, does the latest version of Knoppix write to NTFS? I'm using an old version.

5.1.1 has a usable ntfs-3g version, but which still predates release 1.0 of that driver - I'd advise using sidux instead for a more up-to-date experience.

ooooh shiney!

Regarding the original post:
The friend I was doing this for said she didn't like that album anyway, so it's not a big deal. But it's good to know there's an update that plays nice with NTFS!
