I'm trying to copy the Documents and Settings folder of a Windows XP system over to an NTFS external disk using a USB Live of Puppy Linux.I encountered am encoding problem for namefiles in which the system doesn't recognize italian special characters (part of utf-8) so that using cp or the GUI file manager will bring the error invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.How can I copy the files whose names include the special characters to the NTFS drive?
