Can't copy from Linux to Windows NFS due to special caracter.
Hi,
I have mount a Windows 2016 NFS shared and there is a problem with the copy from Linux client (RedHat).
Example:
From Linux we need to copy this folder
Department_Copy_backupJan1000017/Sending/groupsITdep01/2016-06-25T01:50:55-0700/
I think Windows doesn't like special character. How can I fix that?
Thanks

Simple solutions...
1) Rename the directory.
2) Create a symlink to the directory, then do your copy using the symlink.

When in linux use / not \.
If in doubt on linux you can enclose any name in ' on a shell commandline to pass the characters on to a program.
(Special character on a commandline are <, >, (, ), { , }
