WinSCP handles the file name correctly, imo.

So it must be the server. Maybe it does not support UTF-8.

Try setting raw session settings Utf to "0" (off).

Use $RawSetting parameter of New-WinSCPSession.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Here is my attached session log, marked as private.

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Hey,

The background:
I want to download files from a SFTP server and the move the downloaded files to another folder on the SFTP server.

What I've done:
I've used the WinSCP powershell module developed by Thomas Malkewitz (https://github.com/tomohulk/WinSCP). My script looks like this (I've cut some bits out):

$session = New-WinSCPSession -Credential $Credential -Hostname $server -SshHostKeyFingerprint $SSHKey

Try
{
foreach ($file in (Get-WinSCPItem $session -Path $RemoteRootFolder -Filter *.xml)) {
Receive-WinSCPItem -WinSCPSession $session -Path $file.Name -Destination $ServerPath
}

}
Catch
{
$ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message
Send-MailMessage -From xxxx@xxxx.se -To xxxx.xxxx@xxxx.se -Subject "Couldn't copy remote file!" -Body "The error message was $ErrorMessage" -SmtpServer mail-server.xxxx.se
}

Try
{
#Move each file in RemoteRootFolder to RemoteOldFolder
foreach ($file in (Get-WinSCPItem $session -Path $RemoteRootFolder -Filter *.xml)) {
Move-WinSCPItem -WinSCPSession $session -Path $file.Name -Destination $RemoteOldFolder

}

The error:
The error message was Exception calling "MoveFile" with "2" argument(s): "Error moving file '/xxxx/LEG?RD-151011230000.xml' to 'xxxx/xxxx/LEG?RD-151011230000.xml'."

The "?" character is actally an "Å" letter, which WinSCP can't seem to handle. Any ideas how I can solve this?

I've talked to Thomas and he told me to post here. :)
