windows to dos file name conversion x'ad'
We are running a java client server application on Solaris 10. External Users from around the country attach windows files through a client and these files are stored on a unix server. Recently I've started getting files that have a hex value of ad in their names. This causes a tar command to fail in an archive process that usually happens a couple of months after the file arrives.
I've searched all over and have not been able to find anyone else with this issue. The x'ad' value is in the files actual name, not inside the file. Does anyone know how my users are doing this to me?
