Description Jungshik Shin 2004-08-18 07:38:51 UTC 
I don't use nautilus, but judging from what I experienced with nightly builds of
mozilla (or 1.7 release) that supports 'smb://service/share/path'), smb seems to
exchange file names in 'dos charset' of samba server as Win 9x/ME clients would
do. It should use 'Unicode' like Win 2k/XP samba clients do. 

See http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/unicode.html

The smb support in gnome-vfs 2.6 and later should use unicode. What version are
you using?
Comment 2 Florian Steinel 2005-08-07 15:57:53 UTC 
According to 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255949
he was using gnome-vfs 2.4.1 .
