Alfresco download UTF-8 using FTP

framtk

Hi,

I have installed alfresco 5.1 with the installer on a windows machine running server 2012 r2.

I use FTP (filezilla) to upload and download folders that exceed the 2GB limit imposed on the zip compression but the transfer fails for files that contain UTF-8 characters.

The strange thing is that if i have a file or a single folder with non ascii characters (EG èàìßä) then i am able to upload and download it without problems but if the UTF-8 characters are in the name of a folder or file, let's say, 5-6 levels deep in the directory tree then the transfer will fail with a "path not valid" error.

I was wondering if this is an alfresco or an FTP error since, as i said, it works fine with single files or folders.

P.S. on the alfresco web interface i can see the non-ascii characters normally

you mean the encoding of the files that fail is UTF-8 and you can reproduce the error?

does the path to the file contain spaces? try to give more detail on what works, and what does not work.

Some of the paths that work are with spaces so i don't think that's the problem. In the alfresco repository i have a folder named °üäöèéä? with inside it a file named °üäöèéä?.pdf

Using FTP i can upload and download that folder without any problems. Now i in the repository i also have a folder structure with let's say 10 folders named A,B,C,D and so on, folder A contains folder B that contains folder C and so on.

At the end of the tree i have a folder named something like "1° floor" with a file named "1° floor scheme.pdf" inside, when i try to download the folder A with FTP i get the "path not valid" message. Removing the ° from the folder fixes the problem and i can download the folder A

it might be, that the path of the document will stay "1° floor" even if you have successfully renamed the node via share/webdav. you can see the "real" path when checking the node via node browser. try to boil down if the issue is really not about the spaces, i think i have seen some similar issue lately. also try to search the here for ftp related topics.
