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. Windows-based applications can use the short name to gain access to files.
UNIX | Windows |
---|---|
foo+bar.foobar | foo_ba~5.foo |
foo|bar.-bar | foo_ba~6._ba |
foo|bar.-bary | foo_ba~7._ba |
