reading long filenames from nero to AIX - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

categoryzd · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2006

One of my colleagues is having an issue moving files between a windows box and the AIX servers in the office.

The filenames are being truncated though i don't know to what extent. He's using Nero to burn the CD and I think he mentioned he's using Joliet.

I found another thread that shows a solution for Solaris, but i'm a complete Unix noob, so my question is, does this rule apply to AIX systems?

Thanks

Quite probably, that's what RockRidge is -- iso9660 extensions for UNIX-like operating systems.

The easiest solution without shelling out for yet more proprietary windows software, might be to just archive everything. Name-mangle a tarball and nobody cares, the contents don't change. If you've got gnu tar on the AIX system then the Windows 7-zip GUI app can make archives for it. It's very nice, it's even usable from a right-click context menu.
