NTFS in general has a bunch of ridiculous, archaic restrictions that a more modern-ish one like ext4 doesn’t. Does NTFS still not allow you to use a question mark in your filename?
Well if you put it in like that it would give an error. But if you used the right slash you can kiss your home folder goodbye probably. Maybe rm ./~ would work
Bro you either know what the fuck is in that file, or you shouldn’t be renaming it in the first place.
the question mark is a wildcard, so is asterisk. slashes are used in paths. characters you can’t use usually have implications for the OS. otherwise you can name your file pretty much anything.
Yeah, I think it’s just funny comparing it with the usual situation on Linux, where there’s even less restrictions. I believe you can actually put a newline in a file name, for example, though I’ll need to check and come back later.
I’d need to rename a massive amount of files if I ever wanted to go back to Windows.
P.S. yup. Generally, just avoid /, null, and you’re good to go.
