Which filename encoding should I use to be compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
- by jverdeyen
I'm using a Linux server as fileshare.
These files are accessed by Windows computers with a Samba server, accessed by Macs with a netatalk server (afpd) and also trough ssh an sftp for Windows, Macs and Linux system.
It seems like some of these systems care about the use of characters in filenames and some don't..
There is a tool called 'convmv' to convert filenames from one to another, but which one should I use?
Should I setup the Samba server for a defined file encoding? Same for netatalk?
