error happened when direction name contains chinese characte

Question

hi, i test edtftpnet/free in win7 (chinese edition) with serv-U.

there are files and folders whose names contain chinese character in ftp direction.

my code:

ftp.CommandEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding( "gb2312" );
string[] files = ftp.GetFiles();

all string in files[] shows all right.

however, when i want

ftp.ChangeWorkingDirectory("test"); // ok
ftp.ChangeWorkingDirectory("??"); // Reply 501 Syntax error in parameters or argument.

i read source code, maybe the direction not encode when send command?

Answer 1

Try a different encoding, e.g. UTF-8.
