Share And Folder Names; Photo - ZyXEL Communications NAS Series User Manual

11.2.2 Share and Folder Names

The name can only contain the following characters:
• Alphanumeric (A-z, 0-9) and Unicode.
The NAS allows FTP access to shares, folders or files with names encoded in the UTF-8 (8-bit
UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) format. So your FTP client must support UTF-8 in order to
access shares, folders or files on the NAS with Unicode names.
• Spaces
• _ [underscores]
• . [periods]
• - [dashes]
Other limitations include:
• All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.
• Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.
• Share names must be unique (they cannot be the same as other share names).
• The NAS creates automatic volume names for external (USB) disk volumes. These are a type of
share, so the share name you configure cannot conflict with the external (USB) disk volume
names. "ExtVol1" or "ExtVol2" are examples of external (USB) disk volume names.
• Folder names must be unique (they cannot be the same as other folder names).
• The minimum character length of a name is one character, that is a name cannot be blank.
• The maximum character length of share name is 239 characters.
• Unicode is supported for share names, although your FTP client must support UTF-8. Full support
should be available in all Windows versions after Windows 2000.
