On some FTP sites, I've come across directory names that contain foreign characters. I am using the standard *nix commandline FTP client, and was wondering how one goes about typing characters. I can use Mozilla to traverse the directory structure, and although it displays properly, if I click the direcotry name, It brings me to a page labeled: Index of /%E9%E9%E4%20%E7%E3%E4 the %20 is a space, the rest of the characters are foreign vowels. And I can continue traversing the tree from there. Internet explorer works the same way on my windows machine. But in order to use the command line FTP program, I'd have to actually type it in (cut 'n paste doesn't work). Even outside of FTP, I have had files with foreign characters, and they're a pain to manipulate without a GUI.
