Thanks dear DukeNuke2 for fast response ,,,

I have tried to copy the files using GUI not commandline

really I am not sure if all locales are installed ,, could you advice me how to check and install all locales?

Appreciate your support

check the "localeadm" command...

I installed all locales ,,, but the problem still exists.

I can copy files with Arabic name between the local-disk directories properly ,, but I face the copying problem when I try to transfer Arabic files to / from USB flash disk

is this issue related to USB flash disk formatting (FAT32)?

What command did you type to mount the flash drive?

I'm using GUI, and the flash disk is mounted automatically
