Can you believe there is a well-known program that solved the issue?! It
is Apache web server! One can configure different directories and different
file types to have different encodings. I often do that. One (sysadmin) can
even allow users to do the configuration themselves via .htaccess local files.
I am pretty sure FTP servers could borrow some ideas from Apache in this
area. But they don't. Pity. :(
