6.4 Supported Codepages
What is codepage?
A code page is used by the system to encode and interpret string characters. Codepage formats are not the
same for each language. Some languages, such as Japanese have multibyte characters, while others, such
as English and German, need only one byte to represent each character.
Filename Encoding of FAT File System
This is known as an 8.3 file name, a short file name using codepage encoding. The FAT file system also
supports file names that can be up to 255 characters long. This is known as a long file name using Unicode
(UTF-16) encoding.
When do you need to configure codepage?
The Server supports Windows codepages. If users want to communicate files using FTP client tool or SMB on
Windows 98/Me/2000 with the Server, they have to set their Server codepage to be same as the codepage
that their Windows PC is using.
