FTP filename problem
|
|
| Man With No Name 2004-09-22, 9:26 pm |
| I thought you guys might now about a FTP problem I have
where a file/folder name contains Chinese Characters. Now I cannot upload
these to a ftp server I get error something along the lines off:
550 File name ?????: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect.
(The FTP server is running Win2k SP4 and IIS 5.0)
Where the ????? are the Chinese characters. As far as I understand FTP
cannot translate or recognise these characters that why the error comes up.
I just wanted to confirm this was correct or if there is a possibility to
make it work.
TIA

| Certain ??? will work. but not all 
The best is to change it to ASCII.
it's not yet a full unicode compatible product.
