Hi,

I have an issue with filenames that have foreign (e.g. Japanese) characters in them when trying to access them by FTP from a Windows machine (the server is running FreeBSD 7.1, the same problem occurs with both the builtin ftpd and vsftpd). It is most likely an encoding problem, but I can't figure out where it lies exactly. It basically boils down to this:

When I access the FTP from my Windows machine, the foreign characters come as a load of random characters. However, when I access it from a Linux machine, everything is fine, and the filemanes are also fine when I use ls at the shell.

As I said, it is most likely a problem in how FreeBSD encodes the filenames, but I read throught the mount(8) man page and found no option that would allow changing it. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Firas
