AFP on OES2 SP1 has issues with files and folders with the / character in the name.

Accessing files or folders with the "/" character in the name causes afp errors.


Example:

SLES10 SP2

OES2 SP1  (2.0.1)

NSS volume named, Vol1

Unix namespace is selected

10.4 MAC Workstation


Connect to server on Vol1

Copy a file (testfile.txt) from the MAC desktop to the volume.  Success

Create anew folder from the MAC client on Vol1 named "folder/one". Success

Open "folder/one" from the MAC.  Success

Drag and drop the same testfile.txt from the MAC desktop into "folder/one"  Error: "The Finder cannot complete the

operation because some data in testfile.txt could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."


The testfile.txt exists in the folder/one file folder but it has a 0 byte size and cannot be deleted by the MAC but can be deleted at the console on the

server.


Try to edit vol1:\folder/one\testfile.txt by browsing to it and double clicking it from the MAC. Error, "File "testfile.txt" could not be

opened."


Right click on the file and select, "Move to trash", verify that you want to delete it, Error, "The operation could not be completed because the item
"testfile.txt" is in use."

In iManager > File Protocols > AFP > Select the server > uncheck "Cross Protocol Lock" and restart afptcp

You can now create and drag and drop files and folders with the slash character in the name.


Connect to that same volume with a Windows workstation (no Novell client). You will not see the files or folders with the / character in them.
