February 13, 201015 yr I'm starting a new thread since this is a separate issue. I don't necessarily need high-ASCII/unicode characters to be supported. It would be nice, but if it depends on the ftp server setup, it sounds like a bit too much to ask from a plugin. What does seem reasonable to me is that, if I use FTPeek to create a folder name that it cannot create identically on the ftp server, FTPeek would detect that and return an error. Now, if I create a folder "Wikström", FTPeek tells me everything is fine but I actually end up with a folder called something like "Wikstr??m" (or at least that's the way FTPeek displays the name). And/or, it would be great to have a "safe mode" that only allows supported characters. I can of course build that in myself in my scripting, but it seems more logical to have it in the plugin itself.
March 8, 201015 yr Hi David, You are correct this is a difficult issue to take care of in the plugin. Primarily b/c there are so many ftp server out there and, checking what characters are supported for each server is laborious task. We could, however, customize FTPeek to provide unicode support for a specific ftp server, please let me know if you're interested.
