Download files with accents/special characters in path name
Posted: 2012-01-11 16:16
To my surprise the latest versions of Filezilla client cannot download filenames with special characters in their names (or in the path).
In my situation, the server is Windows FTP server (with Windows Server 2008 R2) and UTF8 is enabled.
The files are visible and spelled correctly from the Filezilla client, but as soon as the transfer is started it says "Critical File Error".
It is even possible with FZ to change te names on the sever side (as long as connected with granted credentials). After that the download works OK.
Downloading the same files with accents such as é è from the same server works OK with other clients. Hence I suspect a bug in F7 3.5.3. Unless there's something I'm overlooking, such as a preference or setting?
Lastly, when I choose Autodetect in the Site manager charset dialog, it is possible to browse special character folders, but not download.
But when I set "Force UTF-8" special character folders cannot be browsed.
All help and suggestions appreciated.
