Enhancment: control encoding choosing UTF-8 based on server

Hi,

as per http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2640.txt a FTP server can indicate that it sends/receives filenames in UTF-8. Currently, the library can only be manually configured with a certain control encoding before you cannot. Thus, I would have to disconnect and reconnect after running the feature command and discovering UTF8 support.

Can the library enhanced to immediately run a FEAT after connect and set its encoding automatically?

Thanks
Thomas

Useful idea, thank you. Have you found any servers that support returning UTF8 from FEAT?

Very few actually. The most notably exception being FileZilla server, which does support it. The majority just does support MDTM, SIZE, REST STREAM, PASV.

Also ftp.microsoft.com supports it.
