| 4.1 Server does not use UTF-8 changed to UTF-8 encoding for filenames and moved to Environment tab, as it is used also by FTP protocol (martin) | missing space (martin) | ||

| WinSCP can operate in two modes, either it expects that the local machine and the server uses the same encoding (no conversion is done) or treats remote filenames as UTF-8 (Unicode) encoded. By default, the first mode is used for [[protocols#sftp|SFTP-3]] and lower ((SFTP specification before version 4 has not required UTF-8 explicitly.)), the latter mode is used for newer versions. You can force non-default behaviour using session option //[[ui_login_environment#utf|UTF-8 encoding for filenames ]]//. This is useful especially for servers that use UTF-8 natively, thus even for older versions of SFTP. | WinSCP can operate in two modes, either it expects that the local machine and the server uses the same encoding (no conversion is done) or treats remote filenames as UTF-8 (Unicode) encoded.

| - | Please be aware that if your server does not support UTF-8 encoding, but uses its local legacy encoding instead, it is its fault. The problem is not on WinSCPside. You should push your server provider to add support for UTF-8, and not ask for support of legacy encoding in WinSCP. | + | Please be aware that if your server does not support UTF-8 encoding, but uses its local legacy encoding instead, it is its fault.
