Would you elaborate what is the problem with the current solution? In my opinion it's pretty simple and works well for transfering small files. > Will LI's advice be the best way? To convert gbk to utf8? You don't need to convert. If you mount an FAT partition with utf8 option, the filenames _are_ in UTF-8. > But I can't view it even though my locale has gbk, so I dare not try > it yet. You locale is not GBK, it's UTF-8. What you did when "cat /etc/locale.gen" is to show the AVAIABLE locales on your system (that is, if your system is kept consistent, the correct way to check is "locale -a"), not the one you are using. You can only have one locale at a time. Ming 2006.08.04 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
