You should only use ascii text in your HTML. If you need special characters then you need to use entity identifiers as anything will have cross-browser/platform weirdness, if you get them to work at all. Entities are written as &something; where something is replaced by some string of characters. Common entities can be found here:

I run into this all the time with Windows people typing in special characters instead of using entities and then wondering why it comes out all goofy on Safari and anything non-IE.

Hi all,

I am happy to say that I was able to use terminal to upload files to ftp so 
thanks for the tips.

I am running into a different problem however. I am trying to upload a htm file 
containing accented letters. I saved in textedit. The characters are displaying 
well in textedit but not on the web. I have tempo rarely removed them but would 
love to find a solution for this. HOw do I even begin to address this issue of 
encoding incompatibility?

Thanks for your help.

Ioana
