CInternetSession / CFtpConnection + unicode filenames

[Tischnoetentoet]

Hi all,

I am having some problems retrieving files with unicode characters inside the filename.

For example, one of the files contains the character ğ, but when I try to request the file, the FTP server shows that a file with a "normal" g is requested instead of the special file character. Therefore, the FTP will return that the file does not exist.

I am using CFtpConnection to receive the files.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Best regards,

Found the problem! I need to convert to a "safe" filename first. Here is some example code:

CString CFtpFileObject::ConvertToSafeFileName(CString sFileName)
{
	// Declare variables
	long lLength = 0, lBufferSize = 0, lResult = 0;
	CString sResult = _T("");

	// Get the length
    lLength = sFileName.GetLength();

	// Check if we have a valid string
    if (lLength == 0)
	{
		// No, just return the original one
        return sFileName;
	}
    	
	//Set buffer for longest possible string.
	lBufferSize = lLength * 3 + 1;
    char * pBytUtf8 = new char[lBufferSize];
	
    // Translate using code page 65001(UTF-8).
    lResult = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, (LPCWSTR)sFileName, lLength, 
		pBytUtf8, lBufferSize, NULL, 0);

	// Clear buffer
	pBytUtf8[lResult] = NULL;

	// Return result
	return CString(pBytUtf8);
}
