Jaguar/Windows networking: forbidden characters in file names
why is it that Jaguar won't let me copy files with characters like ',;&[]' to a Windows share, even though I can create files/folders with those supposedly forbidden characters perfectly fine on my (Windows 2000) PC? (error -43)
Is it that some older version of Windows did not support those characters and so OS X only accepts the least common denominator?
This is very annoying when copying mp3 files over (for backup purposes).
I am also getting error -120. Any idea about that one? Thanks.

<strong>Those are illegal characters on Windows. If they let you create a folder with those, then it is a bug.</strong><hr></blockquote>
No, the illegal windows characters are
\\ / : * ? " < > |
I suppose SMB won't allow you to use characters like , though.
