Chinese characters in pdf files (4 posts)

  Longtime user, just updated to 5.7.5, I'm at a loss uploading .pdf files such as:
  课程设计.pdf
  to the server while maintaining the simple Chinese characters using Fetch.
  Downloaded a trial version of Vicomsoft FTP Client and the files transfers splendidly.
  Why is the transfer not working for me using Fetch?

  Hi,

  I would recommend changing the "Preferred encoding" setting in the Miscellaneous section of Fetch Preferences. The first one I'd try is Unicode (UTF-8). Does that work?

  Thanks,

  Hi Jim,

  Thanks for the quick response, and your recommendation!

  I had been trying the various Chinese encodings listed in Miscellaneous preferences in vain.

  Yes, Unicode (UTF-8) works for these files with Chinese characters.

  I'm glad that worked. Different servers use different encodings, but Unicode is becoming more popular.

  Thanks,
