Thanks I got it working. But since my code could be run in any locale I used
the following method given Sun website
setControlEncoding((new OutputStreamWriter(new
ByteArrayOutputStream())).getEncoding());
I was trying out the method before, but for some stupid reason I was setting
the control encoding just before I transferred the files. Then something
stuck me that the control connection is always present during the lifetime
and only the data connection is created on the fly. So I moved it to the
next line after the constructor and it worked fine.
Thanks Daniel.

The javadocs for setControlEncoding actually specifically answer the
exact question:
/**
* Sets the character encoding used by the FTP control connection.
* Some FTP servers require that commands be issued in a non-ASCII
* encoding like UTF-8 so that filenames with multi-byte character
* representations (e.g, Big 8) can be specified.
*
* @param encoding The new character encoding for the control
connection.
