Cant copy files with german Umlaut

[vanhake]

Hello everyone,

i just set up FFS after reinstalling my Linux Mint Client. I used FFS some time ago to copy my data to a SMB Share and want to use it again.
Now I get error messages at files with german umlaut (ä,ö,ü,ß):

"13:53:38 Fehler Das Verzeichnis "xxx" kann nicht erstellt werden." (cannot create directory)
"EINVAL: Das Argument ist ungültig [mkdir]" (argument is invalid)

I already searched the forum for a solution, but found only old threads...

I am using:
- Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon
- FFS 11.20
- Openmediavault on Raspberry for the Share

Any help would be appreciated? :)

From a shell prompt (at a place like /tmp, or wherever is good for you),
if you enter:

mkdir ä,ö,ü,ß


does that successfully create a directory named, "ä,ö,ü,ß"?

No issues on my end, Win7 en-US, syncing with file/dir name like:
C:\TMP\BRU\ä,ö,ü,ß\君をのせて.avi


(I know nothing of Openmediavault or Raspberry, but if the mkdir command itself works correctly, then maybe the issue is on that end?)

I just checked. I can create those folders without error.

But you got me on the right track. I just tried copying the files manually, and I got the same error. So it has nothing to do with FFS.

Thanks anyways for pointing in the right direction :D
