Re: dirs with trailing . (period)


Yes, I noticed all that too.
Isn't it strange?
I'm writing a script that copies stuff to another server, but now it seems I
can never upload perfectly valid dirs if their names end with a period :(

At least two clients just create the given dir, but when you start uploading
the contents the dirs has not been created but an entirely different dir has.

Is this a bug or what???

I tested with w2k3, it won't allows me to create 'test.' directoy but
'test,' is acceptable.
if windows detects that a period is and the end, it truncate it making it
'test' only for the folder name.
