Hi and thx in advance
I have to transfert files between a UNIX server and a Network Appliance Filer and i have problem with accent characters on filename.
On unix side accent are interpreted as follow
ls -l unix* | cat -v
-rwxr--r-- 1 a067842 admDE 0 Sep 24 16:33 unix_M-^J.txt
and are well interpreted using samba (i.e. a windows workstation show the correct character).
If i transfert the file (using rsync with archive mode) on the filer and access it using NFS I see the same filename
ls -l unix* | cat -v
-rwxr--r-- 1 root other 0 Sep 24 16:38 unix_M-^J.txt
but It's not well interpreted by DOT (Data OnTap which is the Netapp filer Operating System) when accessed from a windows workstation (i.e. a windows workstation doesn't show the correct character)
If I create the file with the wanted filename from windows workstation on the filer it appears accessed from NFS like:
ls unix*.txt | cat -v
unix_M-i.txt
So I understand that M-i and M-^J shown by the cat -v command are differents
, I will have to scan all my data and replace one character by the oher one to make the migration a success.
Problem how can I do this??? The cat man page indicates that characters starting with a "M-" string are non printable and correspond to the "low-order seven bits", is there a way to manipulate this ASCII characters using sed or something else?
Sorry for the long post, hope it's roughly clear (Huummhhh, not sure).
