Comment 4 for bug 69368

hello

i had a go with version 0.93 today. unfortunately it seems not to fix the problem.

but i found out a few things, which might help

there is a mac os x ftp client called cyberduck, which can see the share in its book marks and connect to it.

then i made a ftp share on mac os x (by ticking a box in the system prefs) and had a look at it with avahi discovery from linux. all looked the same, except ipv6 address, no TXT bit, and only the hostname as the name.

so i had a play with avahi-publish and tried to republish my share from linux. the command

avahi-publish -s sam _ftp._tcp 10021

made a share that worked in mac os x finder :-)

avahi-publish -s sam's _ftp._tcp 10021
made one that would not connect.

it seems to me that the ' character is the cause of the problem. i suspect that if gshare did not use that then everything would work.
