( mac strange file names)
Any commercial software that would solve the problem?

TIA

Must be run on a mac  (where the cpu can still read the names).
We use it for moving files to a Windows server,  but the description
also says it is good for going to a Unix server.   Enjoy!
Not overly expensive,   as I recall.
