Hi,
I have tried to copy some files with some norwegian characters in the
file name.
FC 2 is not happy with them and keeps complaining that it cannot write
them.. What can I do to make FC2 accept norwegian characters in
filenames?
Don't know if I can help, but the people who can probably need to know
more:
Are you doing this from the command line or a filemanager?
Do you have the right permissions? If creating the new file, do you
have write permission for the directory you're copying to? Does the
destination file already exist read-only? (check by ls -lh)
Do you have enough free space (df -h)?
What does
$echo $LANG
say? (Given FC2, hopefully (something).UTF-8 )
What file systems are you copying to and from (at the very least
the output of mount would be useful)?
What are the names of the files in question? I managed:
$ touch Skarphéðinn
$ cp Skarphéðinn /tmp
$ ls /tmp/Skarphéðinn
/tmp/Skarphéðinn
