filename encoding on server

Question

Hi Folks,

another encoding question.

On my server, I want to have the possibility of having mp3-files with utf-encoded filenames, for exampe Начало.mp3 .

Now when I save (or rename via my FTP client) a file to Начало.mp3, after refreshing, this file will automatically be renamed to ??????.mp3.

I added a htaccess to both the parent and the directory itself, with an AddDefaultCharSet utf-8 , but the problem stays the same.

Any ideas?

Greetz and thanks

I am in agreement with Vinko, might be a hosting issue, but you can also check your FTP client utf8 mode... If nothing else you can delete, rename locally and upload the file again.
