iOS Question FTP.List and umlauts

[Timm Sodtalbers]

Hi!

Under B4i Ftp.List seems to have problems with files that contain german umlauts. With B4A it works.

FTP.List( "/" & cUserFolder )

Wait For ftp_ListCompleted( ServerPath As String, Success As Boolean, Folders() As FTPEntry, Files() As FTPEntry )

If Success Then
    For i = 0 To Files.Length - 1
        Log(Files(i).Name & ", " & Files(i).Size & ", " & DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp))
    Next
End If

B4A log return:

1439 - Entwurf West.pdf, 151033, 27.10.2022
21088 - Entwässerungsplan gesamt.pdf, 2705745, 27.10.2022
2475 - Baucamp Tränkeweg.pdf, 1222117, 27.10.2022

B4i log return:

1439 - Entwurf West.pdf, 151033, 27.10.2022
<null>, 2705745, 27.10.2022
<null>, 1222117, 27.10.2022

What can I do?

Regards, Timm

You only list the files so maybe rename the ä to ae what means the same in german.

FTP and non-ascii file names is a challenging issue.
Configure your server to use UTF8 by default.

Configure your server to use UTF8 by default.

Good point; I assumed he was using the same server from both B4I and B4A.

I use the same FTP server for both B4i and B4A.

Try to change the server encoding to UTF8.
