I have some filenames in greek (βόλτα.avi) in my drive and i try to copy them in an external usb drive but they don't. Is it a known issue? Any solutions? Also i have some filenames in my usb drive and when i try to delete them they still remain there!! Why?

Re: Can't copy or delete files
Sounds like you don't have write permission on that USB drive.
K > System Settings > Advanced > Disk & Filesystems > Administrator Mode then Modify/Writeable/Any user has all permissions any time
or, look into chown & chmod

Sorry Qqmike, it won't do. I've also discovered that appart from files with greek filename it won't copy any file with long filename. Is this a known issue?Comment

Re: Can't copy or delete files
Not that I know of.
But it sounds like the older DOS filename requirement, doesn't it? I.e., limited to 8 letters + a 3-letter extension.
EDIT And the 8 characters were limited to a certain unimaginative set of characters. You run into this with Windows now and then, especially when writing to the boot file boot.ini.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment
