I created a folder with an "é" in the folder name using File Station. Why can’t I see this folder using Mac Finder?

The problem is due to the character encoding issues. To resolve this problem:

Go to “Control Panel” > “Network & File Services” > “Telnet / SSH” and select “Allow SSH connection”.
Connect to the NAS using an SSH client such as PuTTY.
Log in as admin.
Run the command:
/sbin/setcfg global "unix charset" "ISO8859-1" -f /etc/config/smb.conf
Run the command:
/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart
