Upload keeps failing on charset conversion and blocks process queue

Reported by: drTheMan Owned by:
Priority: low Component: FileZilla Client
Keywords: Failed to convert command to 8 bit charset process conversion queue Cc:
Component version: Operating system type: Windows
Operating system version: Vista SP2

Description

Problem:

While trying to upload files I get the following error:
Error: Failed to convert command to 8 bit charset

FileZilla then keeps trying to upload the file every 20 seconds,
resulting in the same error over and over again, blocking the entire process queue.

Suggested Solution:

move transfer to failed transfers, and possibly build a feature that certain
characters automatically get replaced (should be a user specified setting of course).
Either way, please make sure these failed transfers don't stall a 4106 file upload at 0.1%

System info:

FileZilla version: 3.2.7.1
System (client) info: Windows Vista SP1, Pentium Dual Core T4200 (Dell Inspiron 1545)
System (server) info: Linux based NAS (Synology DS107+)

Here's Ticket 849 that was closed and said to be fixed 2 years ago:

For example, my linux server uses UTF-8 as a default
charset, and my WindowsXP laptop uses CP949 (EUC-
KR) as a default charset. There should be some
charset conversion for FileZilla client to get files with
correct names, and FileZilla should be able to cope with
conversion failure.

Your server is broken.

Either upgrade to a proper server or refrain from using non-ASCII characters in filenames.

Please read http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Character_Set for details.

Just to make a suggestion: even though you are probably right that my ftp server is causing the problem, it would be good if filezilla could cope with a situation like this.

Maybe filezilla could be able to recognize a transfer that's not gonna happen and move it to 'failed'?

You can already set a specification violating encoding through the site manager.
