Re: Fwd: Mounting SMB with hooks

[Malte Vervoorst <mv bsg de>]

Hello,

maybe it is a good idea to allow only valid characters in the name.

Windows:
  - The following reserved characters:

        < (less than)
        > (greater than)
        : colon.
        "(double quote)
        / (forward slash)
        \ (backslash)
        | (vertical bar or pipe)
        ? [question mark]
        * (asterisk)

Then the whole problem would be solved.


Regards
