| Author | Forum: PowerTCP FTP for ActiveX Topic: Store file whose name contains german umlaut |
| hobame From: Germany Posts: 3 Member Since: 06/27/16 |
posted June 27, 2016 9:32 AM Hi, I use Store method in VB6 project to upload file to FTP server and encounter a problem with transferring file that containing non-English characters in name, such as german umlauts "äöüÄÖÜ". The version number of the FTP Control for ActiveX is 2.1. Does anyone have any idea how to make it work? Thanks a lot. Jogi |

posted June 29, 2016 3:58 AM Thank you Jamie. I have made a workaround to this problem: encode the unicode filename containing german umlauts before it is passed to FTP Activex method, such as Store or List, and encode the returned string back to unicode to be shown in my own program. This works well. What I used in my VB6 project are MultiByteToWideChar, WideCharToMultiByte and StrConv functions. Regards, Jogi |
