That looks like UTF-8 interpreted as codepage 1251. I don't think the traditional ftp client knows anything about different charsets, i.e. it just writes the UTF-8 bytes coming from the server straight to the terminal or disk. Therefore you need to use UTF-8 on the Cygwin side as well to make this work. Are you using still using Cygwin 1.5 (which doesn't support UTF-8) or have you got Cygwin 1.7 set up to use CP1251? > bash# ftp --version > ftp (GNU inetutils) 1.5 > > Latest version from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/inetutils/ - 1.7 The latest Cygwin inetutils package does contain ftp 1.7 actually. > So I can use lftp for my purpose.
