Windows SMB Access Support for Windows (SMB) Consider the following information when configuring access for your Windows clients. Windows File and Folder Name Support In Windows, most file and directory names are transmitted as a 2-byte (16 bit) UCS2 character set. However, this is not true in every case. Some are still sent via a single byte character set. The Language Support option selected for Windows clients is used only to enable the server to accept file and folder names in a single byte character set. Caution Do not name files and folders in unsupported languages. Such files and folders may be impossible to open or delete. Cyrillic characters are an example of characters that are not supported for use in file or folder names. Windows Default File System Code Page Support The default language support for the file system uses code page 1252 (Microsoft Windows Code Page - Latin 1). This code page, developed by Microsoft as a "Windows" version of the Latin 1 code page, contains most of the characters used in the US and Western Europe. For additional information on this code page, see the Microsoft specification. Tip To determine the active code page on a Windows client, open a DOS prompt and type chcp, and then press Enter. The active code page displays. Support for Microsoft Name Resolution Servers The Snap Server supports both of the Microsoft name resolution services: Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and Dynamic Domain Name Server (DNS). However, when you use a dynamic domain server or a domain name server with an ADS server, make sure the forward and reverse name lookup is correctly set up. ShareName$ Support The GuardianOS supports appending the character ($) to the name of a share in order to hide the share from SMB clients accessing the Snap Server. Tip The Security > Share Access screen contains a separate and distinct Hidden share option that hides a share from SMB, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP clients. 18 Snap Server Administrator Guide

Snap Server Administrator Guide
Support for Windows (SMB)
Consider the following information when configuring access for your Windows
clients.
Windows File and Folder Name Support
In Windows, most file and directory names are transmitted as a 2-byte (16 bit) UCS-
2 character set. However, this is not true in every case. Some are still sent via a
single byte character set. The Language Support option selected for Windows
clients is used only to enable the server to accept file and folder names in a single
byte character set.
Caution
Do not name files and folders in unsupported languages. Such files and
folders may be impossible to open or delete. Cyrillic characters are an example of
characters that are not supported for use in file or folder names.
Windows Default File System Code Page Support
The default language support for the file system uses code page 1252 (Microsoft
Windows Code Page - Latin 1). This code page, developed by Microsoft as a
“Windows” version of the Latin 1 code page, contains most of the characters used in
the US and Western Europe. For additional information on this code page, see the
Microsoft specification.
Tip
To determine the active code page on a Windows client, open a DOS prompt
and type
chcp
, and then press
Enter
. The active code page displays.
Support for Microsoft Name Resolution Servers
The Snap Server supports both of the Microsoft name resolution services: Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS) and Dynamic Domain Name Server (DNS).
However, when you use a dynamic domain server or a domain name server with an
ADS server, make sure the forward and reverse name lookup is correctly set up.
ShareName$ Support
The GuardianOS supports appending the character ($) to the name of a share in
order to hide the share from SMB clients accessing the Snap Server.
Tip
The
Security > Share Access
screen contains a separate and distinct Hidden
share option that hides a share from SMB, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP clients.
