Why do file or folder names appear different when I access the NAS via AFP and then SMB? Category : Setup / Operation The naming convention of file and folder is different between AFP and Microsoft. Therefore, if its name is not supported by Microsoft system, it will appear different name between SMB and AFP. Is the answer helpful? Related Why is the time still wrong after I set time zone?
