FileZilla Forums

hi there


every time i start filezilla i get the following error

Character encoding issue
A local filename could not be decoded.
Please make sure the LC_CTYPE (or LC_ALL) environment variable is set correctly.
Unless you fix this problem, files might be missing in the file listings.

Your system's character encoding doesn't match the encoding of the files on your filesystem.

This usually happens if using a filesystem created on one system on a different system that uses a different encoding. This can also happen if you at some point changed your system encoding without also changing the encoding of the filesystem.

Make sure your system encoding, as controlled through LC_CTYPE, matches your filesystem encoding. These days it is highly recommended to use UTF-8 for everything.
