14554	"Files with colon "":"" characters in their names cannot be used in shared folders"	GaryPlumbridge		"''Note: this bug is also present in test build 5.0.3 revision 102467. This bug is not present in 5.0.0''


Files with colon "":"" characters in their names cannot be used in shared folders.

To reproduce:
1. Mount a shared folder RW.
2. In the shared folder, attempt to create a file with a colon in its name, for example: 
{{{
gary@gpubuvm:~/host$ touch ""some:file""
}}}
3. Observe result:
{{{
touch: cannot touch ‘some:file’: Protocol error
}}}

----

Existing files with colons in their names cannot be used but '''do''' appear in listings. For example: 
{{{
gary@gpubuvm:~/host/testdir$ ls -lah
}}}

Yields:
{{{
ls: cannot access bad:file: No such file or directory
total 0
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf  136 Sep  8 11:31 .
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 1.4K Sep  8 11:31 ..
-????????? ? ?    ?         ?            ? bad:file
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf    0 Sep  8 11:31 goodfile
}}}

A trace of ""ls -lah"" reveals that it fails to stat ""bad:file"", even though it is an empty normal file on the host:
{{{
lstat(""bad:file"", 0xff0520)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
}}}
