Maybe textDecode(filename) would work.

Is the need because the files already exist, or is it because you cannot control the source of the files? If possible, the files should probably be renamed on the other end to make them "compatible" with all file systems. If not, then maybe urlEncode/urlDecode or the ISO functions may work for you.


Thanks Bob. That´s what i am doing right now.

As i cannot guarantee that my customer won´t use such filenames, i will implement a function that removes and replaces all characters that are non-ascii.

Although, i am wondering how ftp clients like transmit are able to handle such non-ascii characters. Anyway.
