Problem opening files with ":"

[Outy]

Hello,

We have a unix-system that generates files containing the ":" character. When we try to open it in Windows 2000 this is not possible because it contains the ":" character. Is there a way to bypass this without changing the file in unix?


Thanks

From a DOS/CMD prompt, try to copy the file using a wildcard instead of the colon. For example:

COPY ABC?EFG.EXT ABCDEFG.EXT

Tell samba or other client access software on Unix to translate ":" to something harmless like "_" for DOS/Windows, just like ISO9660 does.
