It seems like nobody noticed this? Then let me add more
information.

There is one RFC - #2640 - regarding the internationalization
issue of FTP. It utilizes UTF-8 to transfer paths and
filenames, and both the server and client should be able to
translate UTF-8 from/to the encoding of filesystem. This
should be the definite solution to the Big5 characters with
slash in its sequence.

Currently I can only find a pair of Win32 application support
RFC2640: RaidenFTPD as server and SmartFTP as client.
Since FZ3 will be a cross-platform application, it would be a
good idea to implent RFC2640 as a major advantage among
current U*IX ftp clients. :)
