PCNFS -file name case problem

K.Vijayaragavan. — Wed, 18 Apr 2001 06:07:47 GMT

Hi ,

I am using Hummingbird NFS maestro client software to mount my hpux file system into Windows Nt system.

I could mount the file system easilly. but when i try to copy the mounted file system to a local directory in the windows nt server, Winnt is unable to differentiate the case of the file name.

I have two directories or files that has same name but different case that has to reside in the same parent directory.
When i try to copy it , Winnt is trying to overwrite each other.

preserve case option is slected in NFS maestro software.

Solution if any please let me know.

regards
Vijay

Hi
Your problem is Windoze it does not work the same way as far as case is concerned and the have FILE1 and file1 in the same dir is not possible - solutions:-

1. Remame the second file.
2. Place the second file in a different dir.

BTW ---- "preserve case option is slected in NFS maestro software" - is really for unix to unix copies.

HTH

Hi

I presume taht you just wish to store the Unix files on the NT server, then one way to achieve this is to tar the files before the copy to the NT machine (see man tar).

This will retain within the tar archive all the case information.

E.G.
tar -cvf
the ftp the tarfile.tar to the NT machine (but do not extract it on the NT machine)

Hi
If you write the tar file straight to the cd them if you use winzip them work on the tar file on the cd by opening and using the files directly from the cd. Or do the same on the NT server the problem is if you wish to modify the file the case will come into effect on the save to NT.

A further option is to install Samba on the unix machine and export the dirs so that the NT machine can pick them up.

Search the forum on Samba.
