Windows files not supporting "&" in folder names with WM6

Hi, in windows mobile, when browsing through the firepass box via "Windows Files" portal access I have the above problem.

 

 

Specifically when I click on a folder name with standard characters and spaces it works fine, but when I click a folder named (for example) "Health & Safety" I get an error message saying:

 

 

cannot access to \\fp01-0001\groups$\it\Health

 

 

It appears to be cutting the folder name off at the '&' sign and failing to browse to that folder.

 

 

I have tested this via a standard Windows XP PC and it works fine, I have also tested via multiple windows mobile devices and they all fail the same.

 

 

Is there any way of fixing this?

 

 

Many thanks.

    Have you contacted technical support yet? DevCentral is more intended for scripting questions with iControl and iRules, as well as "out of the box" type discussions around Design & Config, Wan Optimization, Firepass, etc.

     

     

    For this kind of straight-forward, break/fix type of issue they are far better equipped to help you troubleshoot and fix the problem. You can contact them here: Click here

     

     

    HTH,
