File name considerations

File names created on UNIX®-based clients using characters that are not valid for the Windows® file systems (such as colons, slashes, back slashes, asterisks, question marks, double quotation marks, less than, greater than, and pipe) are transformed into valid short names. Applications can use the short name to gain access to files.
