Description

adiroiban's avatar @adiroiban reported
Trac ID trac#5100
Type enhancement
Created 2011-05-10 15:44:04Z

It would be nice if by default twisted FTP could handle UTF-8 file names.

Some information about implementing this can be found here:

I have implemented a quick and dirty UTF-8 support for my needs and if this feature is wanted, I can dedicate more time to write a proper implementation together with the required tests.

Cheers
