You can put slashes in filenames in MacOS's Finder app. If you use ls to view the filename, you'll see colons where Finder shows slashes.

- tracker1 3y agoWant to really mess with someone, do that on a mac file share on a windows server... You won't be able to do anything to that file or directory from Windows. Not sure if it's still an issue, but definitely was in the NT4/Win2k days.
- saurik 3y agoYeah, because Mac used to : as the separator... but, : is also an extremely commonly-used character that I have off wanted to put in a filename.
