Can someone confirm that Python 2.6 ftplib does *NOT* support Unicode file names? Or must Unicode file names be specially encoded in order to be used with the ftplib module?
The following email exchange seems to support my conclusion that the ftplib module only supports ASCII file names. Should ftplib use UTF-8 instead of latin-1 encoding? http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-January/085408.html Any recommendations on a 3rd party Python module that supports Unicode file names? I've googled this question without success[1], [2]. The official Python documentation does not mention Unicode file names[3]. Thank you, Malcolm [1] ftputil wraps ftplib and inherits ftplib's apparent ASCII only support. [2] Paramiko's SFTP library does support Unicode file names, however I'm looking specifically for ftp (vs. sftp) support relative to our current project.
