[Problem] [EN] Freetz Sambra interational [pl] charset @fritz.box7270

[sinusq]

Hi,

when I put flash drive to my Fritz and type polish characters like ąę, and after that I move USB stick to PC - I have filename like 'ąÄ' same is when I do i from PC and move to fritz.
I tried to find out solution for charset:

[global]
unix charset = UTF8
display charset = UTF8

or

unix charset = UTF8
   display charset = UTF8
   dos charset = CP852

or

unix extensions=yes

or

dos charset = cp852
display charset = ISO8859-2
unix charset = ISO8859-2

or

unix charset = UTF-8
display charset = LOCAL

also with shares

/var/media/ftp/uStor01 Data -iocharset=utf8,noauto

non of therm works..so my question is, is there any solution to get correct pl letters with Windows 7 and Fritz box ?


Firmware: 54.05.51 rev25395 Branding: avme
Freetz: 2.0-10629
Samba 3.0.37

Sometimes it saves a lot of time to look at the manual instead just to try options and hope for the best. See "man smb.conf"
So "unix extensions" has nothing to do with charsets, defaults to yes anyway, and only affects UNIX clients.
The "dos charset" refers to DOS clients, you probably don't have them.
Also "display charset" is only relevant for log messages.
To set "unix charset = UTF8" is a good idea, although at least in newer versions of Samba this is the default.
The only thing left to do is to make the file system use UTF8. You didn't mention the file system you use, but as you plug it into the PC, it's most likely FAT or NTFS. You must make sure the the mount is done with iocharset=utf8. The mount has nothing to do with shares. To see the current mounts and their options, you can use "cat /proc/mounts".

For people who knows what they are looking for in manual, I guess yes, for mid-users like me, who can do sth with pc, after they try to google for issue and solution not..
So I tried all solutions I found that way
Yes its NTFS for 1TB hard drive I wish to connect at the end, and FAT for my test USB stick that Im using to check if it works or not.
so in fact commend "var/media/ftp/uStor01 Data -iocharset=utf8,noauto" or "/var/media/ftp/uStor01 Data iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp852 1 0" which I tried should do its job?, when I still cant see any different (except my windows want password when I want to use flash drive even when no pass is set up).,or maybe you mean to mount it with different way from windows like with command "net use" ?

about "cat /proc/mounts" - should I istall telnet access on freetz and then use putty to get there, cuz I cant use that commend
Could you gave more infos for ~mid user?

None of these are a command.
You probably entered that into a file or configuration field, and now we can guess which one it might be?

I'm not talking about windows, I'm talking about mounting the file system on the box.

about "cat /proc/mounts" - should I istall telnet access on freetz and then use putty to get there, cuz I cant use that commend

You should find a way to execute commands on the box. You can use the rudi-shell, or you can use Putty to access the box via Telnet or SSH.

Maybe the best way is to modify the mount commands in /etc/hotplug/udev-mount-sd before flashing the image.
