Files with Umlauts Cannot be Seen on Shared NTFS Partition (103923)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103923 SYMPTOMS
When displaying an NTFS or HPFS directory listing on a Windows NT Advanced
Server across a network from a non-Windows NT computer, one with Windows
for Workgroups installed for example, if any of the filenames contain
umlauts, all of the files in the directory may not be listed. This problem
does not occur on a FAT partition.
Steps to Reproduce Problem- On a Windows NT computer, use File Manager to share an NTFS
partition containing approximately 150 files, including some that
contain umlauts in the filenames.
- From a Windows for Workgroups computer on the same network, connect
to that share.
- From the computer with Windows for Workgroups, delete some files
(one by one) with File Manager. After a while, File Manager shows the
wrong number of files in the directory.
- Press F5 and note that the files with umlauts are still not
displayed.
- Close and restart File Manager. Note that the files still are not
displayed.
