    Question regarding file names and special characters

    Q: Question regarding file names and special characters. I am currently working on my project moving files between our Windows fileshare and a now Windows destination via SFTP.  So far so good, but when I have a file as a source in our Windows fileshare that has special characters like ä, ö, ü, the transmission of the files get an error stating that the host filesystem does not allow such characters as file names.

    Is there any way to move the files and rename the file names during the move ? e.g. if the file contains such a special character, it should be renamed like this

    ä -> ae

    ü -> ue

    ö-> oe

    Feedback Customer: “Disgregard my email I found it”

    A: The customer used the file rename option in their SFTP Destination setup to replace ä with ae, ü with ue and ö with oe.

    The system cannot find the path specified

    Q: The system cannot find the path specified question. Filemover is doing a great job for us with SharePoint, I just have a few questions. I notice that the log is showing errors and it seems to be related to files/folders that fall outside the date range we want.
    I understand why it is not coping them, but I don’t understand why it is throwing errors.

    Example:
    5/14/2025 12:12:59 PM Search Files Error at Path E:\ALG-SHARE\Public\General_FACILITIES\Corporate Documents\XXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX, XXX XXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXX\FYI 12-31-17\Other\XXXXXX XXXX – Closing Documents XXXXXX\XXXXXX XXXX – Purchase Documents – Closing XXXXXX\Closing Documents – XX XXXX – XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX\: The system cannot find the path specified

    The path is actually there and filemover sees it, it just writes that error to the log and skips over the path. Please let us know if you need to do a zoom call. Thank you as always.

    A: Could you please prefix your current Source path with \\?\

    So instead of E:\YourCurrentPath >> \\?\E:\YourCurrentPath

    Some other examples:

    • Local Drive folder
      • C:\PathThatIsVeryLong\ => \\?\C:\PathThatIsVeryLong\
    • Network Drive Folder:
      • \\ServerName\PathThatIsVeryLong\ => \\?\UNC\ServerName\PathThatIsVeryLong\
      • For a share folder (\\ServerName\PathThatIsVeryLong\), we could use \\?\UNC\ServerName\PathThatIsVeryLong\ where “ServerName” is the name of the computer and “PathThatIsVeryLong” is the name of the shared folder.

    Please have a look at: filenames-longer-256-characters

    If you need any help with this option, please let us know.

    How to use our LDAP client with the user accounts option

    In version v2025.5.4.0 we added a LDAP Client option to our User Accounts setup. This new option is available for Site+ and Coporate+ license holders.

    • Open the Accounts option under the Tools menu item:

    limagito file mover user accounts option

    • In our example the administrators group of the limagito domain was added. We used the administrators group in our test, but this can be any group.
      • Check ‘Enable User’
      • Check ‘Domain User or Group’
      • Add Username (or Groupname) with the domain as prefix ( domain\username or domain\groupname )

    limagito file mover user accounts setup

    • Switch to the LDAP Client Tab
      • Check ‘Enable Client’
      • Add the Client(s) you need
        • You can add multiple domains
      • For each domain you add, you need to add:
        • LDAP Host, our LDAP test server is using the IP 192.168.2.202
        • LDAP Port, our LDAP test server is listening on Port 636
        • LDAP Use TLS
          • When enabled TLS will be used to encrypt the LDAP packets

    limagito file mover ldap client

    • Login screen using the administrator user of the limagito domain ( limagito\administrator ). In our example the administrator user of the limagito domain is a member of the limagito domain administrators group so the logon will be successful.
