Full Discussion: cp does not like filenames with accents?

Is it imperative that the native charset remain in tact on the destination side?
If that is the case: Can you set the locale of the process doing the copy to match what is on the disc? If you do this every app you run against your will have to be set to use that special locale.

Otherwise use tar and iconv
Code:
mkdir /newdir
cd /mnt/cd0/STORE1
tar -c --file /dev/tty   |  ( cd /newdir ; | iconv [conversion options here] | tar xf )

[conversion options here] == you need to supply this.

iconv

ICONV(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ICONV(1)

NAME

     iconv -- codeset conversion utility

SYNOPSIS

     iconv [-cs] -f from_name -t to_name [file ...]
     iconv -f from_name [-cs] [-t to_name] [file ...]
     iconv -t to_name [-cs] [-f from_name] [file ...]
     iconv -l

DESCRIPTION

     The iconv utility converts the codeset of file (or from standard input if no file is specified) from codeset from_name to codeset to_name and
     outputs the converted text on standard output.

     The following options are available:

     -c    Prevent output of any invalid characters.  By default, iconv outputs an ``invalid character'' specified by the to_name codeset when it
	   encounts a character which is valid in the from_name codeset but does not have a corresponding character in the to_name codeset.

     -f    Specifies the source codeset name as from_name.

     -l    Lists available codeset names.  Note that not all combinations of from_name and to_name are valid.

     -s    Silent.  By default, iconv outputs the number of ``invalid characters'' to standard error if they exist.  This option prevents this be-
	   haviour.

     -t    Specifies the destination codeset name as to_name.

EXIT STATUS

     The iconv utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     mkcsmapper(1), mkesdb(1), iconv(3)

STANDARDS

     iconv conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     iconv first appeared in NetBSD 2.0, and made its appearance in FreeBSD 9.0.
