We have 2 queries regarding FTP.

1. Can we host a FTP Site in chinese.

like Virtual directory name being " ?? " and
mapped to "c:\temp\test"

is this possible ? if yes could you please tell me the solution.

2. if a file name is in chinese say " ?.hex " ,
when i access the directory from FTP, the file will be displayed as
" ?.hex "
what should i do to get the file name correctly through FTP.

Please suggest.

The answer to both of these questions is that we currently do not support
the use of Unicode characters in the IIS FTP server.

You may be able to work around this through the use of a UTF-8 capable FTP
client - if you only ever store and retrieve files using UTF-8 format
through an FTP client, that should preserve most file names. [I only say
"most" because there may be some collisions between UTF-8 and our internal
processing of file names of which I am unaware.]

Alun.

Yes, if you ftp using the same locale client, it will display correctly.
