#5641 closed Feature request (wontfix)

windows explorer cannot upload some files with special name

Description (last modified by Tim Kosse)

Uploading file "306待产包.jpg" to filezilla server fails with windows explorer, but successes with filezilla client. Not all chinese named files fails, but occurs rather frequently. Seems a character handling related bug.

I have no virus scanner installed.
I suggest that it relates to character set handling. Maybe file explorer or filezilla is not good at UTF8 transforming and send filezilla server something that can not be understood. The bug starts at "STOR 306待产?jpg" command. Specifically, at the character 包,which displays as a question mark in the log.

Do you also experience this issue if using a dedicated FTP client? Explorer has a notoriously bad FTP implementation.

I do not have other dedicated FTP client; There are so many Windows machine that have not any dedicated FTP client at all, and I have to use Explorer to access the FTP server.

包 is a character outside the basic multilingual plane. Older Windows versions cannot handle characters in the supplementary planes correctly. Solution is to update to a more recent Windows version, e.g. Windows 7

I tried latest Filezilla 0.9.58 and Explorer on a Windows 7 machine (ftp://localhost),and this problem still exists. Only the character scrambled to another form:

Triage suggestion

I have attempted to recreate this problem using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on an NTFS filesystem, using FileZilla Server 0.9.60. I created a file named 包.txt in a test folder, then set up a test user in FileZilla Server that had read and write permissions to that folder. I connected using ftp://localhost in Windows Explorer and was able to connect and interact with the file (deleting the file and then copying the file back). Here is a sampling of the FileZilla server logs:

(000006) 4/7/2017 12:40:41 PM - test (::1)> STOR 包.txt
(000006) 4/7/2017 12:40:41 PM - test (::1)> 150 Opening data channel for file upload to server of "/包.txt"
(000006) 4/7/2017 12:40:41 PM - test (::1)> 226 Successfully transferred "/包.txt"

It appears that this is not an issue within FileZilla Server.

@luweitest, would you provide information about the service pack level, system locale, system language settings, filesystem details (for example, NTFS vs FAT32,), whether you are uploading files from a network share or a local drive, and other information that might help clarify the problem?

I also recommend that you try using a portable version of FileZilla Client or another portable FTP client like WinSCP or FreeFileSync instead of Windows Explorer and see if that resolves the problem. I agree with @codesquid, Windows Explorer has limitations in everything from its .zip file support to FTP client support and should be avoided for production use.

As reported this issue only occurs with windows Explorer as client and uploading.

Windows7 SP1 1.2 (6.1.7601 shown on cmd)
system locale and system language settings are Chinese
source and destination filesystem are NTFS, from local C: to E:
Filezilla server 0.9.60.2

On the other hand, retrieving is good:

So as long as the character is displayed correctly in log, the command succeeds.
I do suspect this is actually a bug of windows Explorer. But MS do not have a bug report system!

This appears to be an issue with Windows Explorer, not with FileZilla Server. Perhaps it is possible for Tim to make a change to FileZilla Server that allows Windows Explorer to upload files, but I recommend using an FTP client instead of Windows Explorer.

Closing for lack of movement.
