Forbidden character: –

[dotzolder]

I downloaded a file that had a non-standard dash in it's filename (–  -)
Sab did not treat it as a forbidden character. Via Samba, the symbol shows up as a non-filled square, via SSH, the symbol shows up as "â"
Eventhough the file was downloaded flawlessly, Sab says: Failed to repair, not enough repairblocks, thus leaving it in the _incomplete folder.

It looks like par2 doesn't know how to handle that character.
Have you tried running par2 manually from an SSH session?

I can't even get into the folder containing the character. when i try to "cd" into "folderâ" i get

Code: Select all

-bash: cd: folderâ: Invalid or incomplete multibyte-character

(i don't know if that's what the english error message looks like, i translated from dutch)


when i do

Code: Select all

par2 v /folderâ/fileâ.par2 /folderâ/fileâ.rar

I get:

Code: Select all

The recovery file does not exist: /folderâ/fileâ.par2

Try something like
cd folder?

[dotzolder]

cd folder
file or folder does not exist

when i try to paste the – symbol into my ssh client, it gets interpreted as a .

cd folder.
file or folder does not exist

Add the ? question mark, that's a wildcard.

cd folder? worked

/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2

seems to start par2, but then: "Target: "file.rar" - missing."

same goes for:

/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 file?.rar
/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 "file .rar"
/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 file.rar
