Wired file name on Window file explorer while correct file name on Linux

Window file explorer shows wired file name, 

<G2X4IA~5
O2T3KH~K
SYJ2IT~R

It's a file name mangling problem(AKA Filename mangling) due to Samba is converting filenames down to old style DOS 8.3 filenames.

On server side, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add mangled names=no to the [global] section and restart the smb service.[1]
