You can replicate directories or files from a Windows NT NTFS volume
to an OS/2 (with LAN Manager 2.x) FAT volume if the filenames meet FAT
style naming conventions. The same is true for OS/2 as long as the
filenames meet OS/2 HPFS style naming conventions.
Directories or files that do not meet the FAT naming convention (8.3),
cannot be replicated from a Windows NT Advanced Server NTFS file
system volume to an MS OS/2 LAN Manager 2.x FAT volume.
Directories or files can be replicated from a Windows NT Advanced
Server NTFS volume to an MS OS/2 LAN Manager 2.x HPFS volume; however,
the names of the directories or files must meet the HPFS conventions.
HPFS filenames must meet the following conventions:
- Names can be up to 254 characters.
- Paths and filenames can together be up to 259 characters long.
- Blank spaces and periods can occur anywhere in the file or
directory name.
- The following characters can be used in naming HPFS files:
- The following characters are not currently allowed:
- You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case.
NTFS filenames must meet the following conventions:
- Names can be up to 255 characters long.
- The following characters are not currently allowed:
NOTE: Windows NT Advanced Server can function as both an import and
export replication server. Standard Windows NT can function as only an
import server. MS OS/2 LAN Manager can function as both an import and
an export server. You can also export from an OS/2 LAN Manager server
to a Windows NT workstation.
