OK.

With Total Commander it's O.K. With WinSCP it's not O.K. I think problem is not on my FTP server.

I can set my FTP login name and password for testing to your private e-mail.

If I have good information FTP protocol doesn't transfer information about codepage. Server is completly in UTF-8 (CentOS 5.3, vsftpd). Then I need set FTP client to use UTF-8 for filename coding. I must set WinSCP client diferently for FTP and for SFTP (UTF-8 for FTP off and for SFTP on). I don't understand why.

The your FTP server probably converts UTF8 filenames to Windows 1250 on the wire.

I have no explanation for the other problem.

Yes. WinSCP sees czech letters in directory. If I have set UTF-8 off with FTP, I see

• /files-from-utf-8-client/ěščřžýáíé.txt
  
• /files-from-win-1250-client/ěščřžýáíé.txt - this file I cannot open or download

I I have set UTF-8 on with FTP, I see

• /ěščřžýáíé.txt (can be downloaded)
  
• /files-from-win-1250-client/ěščřžýáíé.txt

With FTP protocol WinSCP with UTF-8 setting OFF I can see correct filenames with czech UTF-8 character and can use these files.

1.
I must use UTF-8 setting ON to SFTP connect to my UTF-8 linux (it's OK, protocol SFTP-3)
I must use UTF-8 setting OFF to FTP connect to same linux. Why?
(WinSCP 4.1.9/4.2.2.480, vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5_3.1)

2.
With FTP protocol WinSCP with UTF-8 setting OFF I can see correct filenames with czech UTF-8 character and can use these files. But WinSCP also can see correct filenames saved icorrectly by another client in codepage windows-1250 on UTF-8 server and cannot use these files and directories.
