Re: Prinergy Naming?
Hi Folks,
Thanks for considering ExtremeZ-IP as a solution.
I believe that the culprit here is SFM which, as Rob states, is limited to 31 character file names. SFM (Microsoft Services for Macintosh) uses the older AFP 2.2 protocol that does not support any OS X functionality such as long filenames. Group Logic believes that Microsoft has no plans to update the AFP protocol supported as SFM has been deprecated from Server 2008.
The good news is that, starting with the AFP 3.0 protocol that shipped with OS X, AFP has supported long file names (up to 255 characters) and Unicode filenames as does ExtremeZ-IP. The other good news is that that AFP runs on TCP/IP so you can eliminate AppleTalk forever.
