can view the files from dos and windows and the long file names
are there. When I put the floppy into my debian system debian only sees the
8.3 filename (example: filena~1.htm). When I cp the files, 'what I see is
what I get'.
So I took advise and zipped the files with winzip and then

filesystem type msdos. And Windows, of course, needs to write the long
filenames to the disk. It doesn't always with floppy.

When I 'xcopy *.* a:\ /s" and then copy those files to my linux machine
with 'cp' my long files names are lost. Any idea how to retain these long
file names when using media instead of ftp to transfer files between systems?
Also, is there an equivalent command to cop
You will need to mount it with '-t vfat' which let's you read the windows
95 long file names. This is assuming you have the vfat module for the
kernel already installed.
hope that helps

You have to mount the drive with:
mount -t vfat
This works pretty well

Mount the filesystem as type "vfat" instead of "msdos". It is more
than a msdos filesystem. Vfat get the long names right.

Hello,
I have a question that I am sure has been asked before, but...
When I mount my Win98 drive from Linux, the file names are shrunk. What do I
have to do to see the whole name?
Thanks in advance!
ilenames containing non-ascii characters. (By e.g.
translating from DOS codepage 850 to ISO 8859-1 ("latin 1")).

My other question is about long file names. How does Linux handle
long file names? When I try to view a file with spaces (i.e. My
Resume.txt) Linux seems to treat these as seperate files. How do I
correctly specify a valid long file name?
TIA
