To set default encoding for a shared directory using the Windows interface

  1. Open Windows Explorer: click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the shared directory you want to manage.

  3. Click Sharing.

  4. Click NFS Sharing.

  5. In the Encoding list, select the type of encoding to be used for file and directory names in the shared directory. In addition to the default American National Standards Institute (ANSI) encoding, the following encoding is available:

  6. If this option is set to ANSI on systems configured for non-English locales, the encoding scheme is set to the default encoding scheme for the locale. The following are the default encoding schemes for the indicated locales:

    • Japanese: SHIFT-JIS

    • Korean: KS_C_5601-1987

    • Simplified Chinese: GB

    • Traditional Chinese: BIG5
