I'm arguing that one should put a info file containing the encoding on the FTP *server* instead and gnome-vfs should read that to find the encoding. i.e. ftp server: encoding.info foo.txt data.blabla encoding.info containing the actual encoding to use. > > I think it is better to give user an "Advanced" option menu like > Filezilla 3.
