Smart quotes in file names

Postby dwalker59 on Sat Jul 23, 2011 11:49 pm

Our server has some file names that contain smart quotes: the slanted double-quotes that you see in American English, where the opening quotes lean one way and the closing quotes lean the other way.

Part of my log says this:

COPY L->R K:\Backups\Docs\Newsletters\2008 Newsletters\October 2008-“Staying Informed”.doc (27.5kB)
Updating in DB after action: \Docs\Newsletters\2008 Newsletters\October 2008-“Staying Informed”.doc (cmLeftToRight), LTime: 9/26/2008 11:03:34 AM, RTime: unknown

I hope the smart double-quotes are preserved in this post.

The PROBLEM is that all files that are named this way get backed up every run, even though they have not changed. I am using version 5.48 of SFFS at the moment, on Windows Server 2003. The target is a WinSSHD server on Windows XP Pro.

These are not my files to rename, so I can't do that to fix the problem. Thanks.

Late reply due to post in wrong forum.

These kinds of chacters can only be preserved when using Unicode (UTF-8), which can be selected on the second tab sheet of the Internet/FTP dialog.
