Hi Jason,

Yes, that’s it. I thought that our server accepts UTF-8, but I was wrong; it does not accept non ASCII chars. So the specials chars appear encoded with two ASCII characters.

I suppose this is due for compatibility issues. Our server hosts a lot of old web sites…

So I have to write this batch…

Anyway, this topic is now solved for me.

Thank you for your detailed answers and your reactivity.

Bests regards,

Hi Jason,
I have installed the 3.0.4 release. Effectively, now, the special chars are correctly displayed in Windows.
But there is a problem: they are not in UTF-8. So when I upload the files on the remote server, all the links will fail because those characters are encoded on 1 byte and not on 2 or more.
I have tried the last version of 7Zip, the problem is the same. I use Windows 7.
Note that when I download the files directly, with a ftp client like Filezilla, the special chars are not correctly displayed. This is normal because Windows does not support UTF-8. But at least, Windows Explorer does not modify the files names. So when we upload them on the remote server, the special chars are correctly encoded and the links are preserved. I am speaking about the french special chars, I do not know if this is true for other languages.

However, with the last version of your plugin, it is now possible to write a batch or a program that reconverts the files names in UTF-8, before the upload.

Perhaps you can find a solution; otherwize, I let you mark this topic as resolved and I will write this batch.

Thank you for your support and your reactivity,

Hi,
I do not encounter question marks in the filenames. The french “e accent cute” is translated with a “+” sign, followed by a special char (“r” like “registered”). I have verified the file names: they are encoded in UTF-8.
So I agree with you, it is probably the ZIP client. PhpInfo gives following informations:
extension version: $Id: php_zip.c 294817 2010-02-09 17:51:39Z pajoye $
Zip version: 1.9.1
LibZip version: 0.9.0
I am going to inform the sysadmin, perhaps he can do something.
Thank you for your answer,
Bests Regards,

Thierry
