Windows does not support ":" in filenames. It will end up creating a
stream device (with a name up to the ":" character) with 0-length.
CIFS/Windows interaction should detect that though (rather than fail
miserably), this seems like a CIFS client or Windows server issue. Could you
try the following:
- try the same with 9.04 to see if it was fixed in later versions
- on 8.04.2, cifs.mount your Windows share with the "mapchars" option and see
if it changes anything
- on 8.04.2, open a windows share from Nautilus (using smb://server/share in
the location bar) and try transfering a file with ":"
What version of Windows is your share on ?
** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
