ProFTPD handles this using virtual hosting. Each virtual host can have it's
own charset. I have found this:

http://home.h01.itscom.net/para/software/misc/proftpd-iconv/index-e.html

But it meas that an user has to actively make correction - to use another
url.

Total commander sends FEAT command but it looks like it ignores UTF8 line...

I think, being able to change charset transparently for an user would be
great option. At least, I would use it :-)
(Or I can imagine a heuristic based on client's IP.)
