Local or remote?

If it's remote, use a UTF-8 enabled server instead.

If it's local, try starting FileZilla with the LC_ALL
environment variable set to "en_US.utf8" or if that doesn't
help with your own locale code, try both the standard and
the utf8 version.

It's on remote servers. So you are telling me to only use
ftp-servers that support UTF-8?

And how will I know if the server I connecting to support
that? That's out of my hands. I can't control servers on the
internet.

comment:3 by Tim Kosse, 18 years ago

If the server does not support UTF-8, FileZilla has no way
to know the encoding the server uses for filenames. In that
case, FileZilla just assumes local encoding, even if it's
the wrong encoding.
Keep in mind that FTP has only been specified for 7-bit
US-ASCII or UTF-8 support, all other encodings rely on
unspecified behaviour.

You can however, set the server encoding in the site
manager. While I don't know your character set, you might
want to try all encodings from ISO8859-1 up to ISO8859-16.

Ok, well other ftp-clients can handle this well.
You may should have a look at FireFTP for FX it support it
well, and I think it's OSS so you might can use some of the
code.

comment:5 by Tim Kosse, 18 years ago

Other FTP clients guess too. Pure coincidence that they
guessed right. There is no code I could use from them.

comment:6 by yopnono, 18 years ago

Ok. I did a quick test. I installed a server that support
UTF-8, and connected to it using FZ3 and it did not show the
non english file names.

If it don't handle the name "sång.mp3" why don't it show the
files. It could replace the characters with something else.
like ?. Instead of hiding the file / folder

Anyhow the gui don't remember the setting Location/size.

Please post a log with debug level 3 and "show raw directory
listing"

comment:8 by yopnono, 18 years ago

Sorry to ask, but... where does the debug log go?
Everytime I connect to the server and use debug L3 and show
raw directory it crash, the hard way :)

comment:9 by Tim Kosse, 18 years ago

It's so not meant to to do that ;)

Can you please run it in gdb and post the backtrace after
the crash? (The gdb command for it is 'bt')

comment:10 by yopnono, 18 years ago

Ok here we go the gdb output.
