I ftp'd a copy of my web site cause I am gonna transfer it to another server. I burned the files to a cd. did the cp routine to the proper directory and most of the names have changed!! cd was burnt on a win2k machine.. I gotta rename most of the file ie howtopg1.htm changes to something like h0000_1.htm can any one tell me how to avoid this.
 
Are all the filenames 8.3? Did you burn with Joliet extensions? If you compiled your own kernel did you enabled Joliet support?
 
I dont know what 8.3 is or means. the distro I use is precompiled..kinda specialized..
are you saying I should burn the cd in a different format?
once the files are on the server I can rename them back to the original and all is well.
burned with default settins on HP's burner software ..
I have ezcd creator on one machine and nero on another I can prolly burn it however I need to if I only knew what that would be
 
I meant 8.3 DOS filenames. Also I believe ISO9660 only supports like 31 character filenames natively, that's why RockRidge (unix standard) and Joliet (MS standard) were invented.

If the distro is specialized you should talk to the person who specialized it and find out if they enabled Joliet support. Or you can just zip the files up.
