Easy to copy files with illegal chars in filename from Windows to Linux
by hpfeil from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6NS4M)
All of the search results at duckduckgo are either too old or too complicated, yet the question remains unanswered. [You cannot alter the filenames on a Windows data DVD/CD.] Simply use tar:
Code:tar -cvf ~/fubab.tar <path to windows folder containing files with illegal chars in filenames>
tar xvf ~/fubab.tarOnce the files are on your linux system, simply delete the illegal chars using rename in Dolphin.
Here's hoping someone my find this of interest.
