Description Chris Malton 2007-05-22 12:14:53 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: N/A
Distribution: Ubuntu or SuSE
Hardware Environment: Mixed
Software Environment: ncpfs, Apache, PHP, MySQL
Problem Description:
ncpfs refuses to display folder listings with extended (outside charcode 0-127)
characters in the file name.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a file on a netware server with an extended character in the file name,
then attempt to access that folder on Linux through ncpfs.  NCPfs will not show
all or part of the folder.

I would fix, but haven't the time at present, perhaps somebody can look into this?

NCPFS isn't heavily maintained so you'll probably need to fix it yourself or persuade someone to do it for you
Comment 2 Chris Malton 2008-09-22 11:24:09 UTC 
Thankfully, the software project I was using NCPfs for is now on a windows server system, and that makes everything a whole bunch easier.
