Possibly the method to get FtpCreateDirectoryW to work is to convert the folder name with MultiByteToWideChar_

Edit: No, that doesn't sound right. As I understand it, WideChar is unicode (UTF16).

Tried changing the prototype thus:
Prototype.i FtpCreateDirectoryW(hConnect.i, sDirName.p-unicode ...

InitNetwork()

If OpenFTP(0, url, user, pass, 21)

CreateFTPDirectory(0, "报 报 报")
CloseFTP(0)
Else
MessageRequester("Owch", "FTP connection failed")
EndIf

Tried the above snippet and got the same result as you on my server. Unless FileZilla does something clever, such as introducing it's own ...

Just wonder how others configure it to be able to upload and create folders with names in their mother tongue instead of romanised English characters.
Well in fact, in most cases they actually do use English. It's the same with email addresses - the standards and protocols support Unicode ...

you could also use a packet sniffer like Wireshark to ensure they're being sent ok

Actually I am sure it is not sent okay as it is intended to be.. to be Chinese/English/Arabic names as the original file from our computer.
it actually is unable to send the utf8 characters over to the server . It ...

the folder created online at my server came up with '???' where ? replaces each Chinese character.
How did you see that? If via another desktop app, then that needs to support Unicode - and Unicode font. Or using an online 'Control Panel' provided by your Web Host? Check that they support Unicode ...

Hi experts,

Hi,

Thanks for response.

I have found the fault.

After testing it the 5.3 and then on the 4.61 , I discovered that the fault lies with the IE that I am having with my development computer.

When PB opens a new window with a windows browser , it chooses the IE to display the new window not the ...

Hi hope someone can help me on this.

I use webgadget for an app that browses the website with hyperlinks.

I notice that if the hyperlink is to create a separate window e.g. using "<a target="_blank" href="http://yahoo.com" </a>

and I seemed to be the only one who didn't post in this version.

@Moderators: please delete the duplicate topic, thank you.

PB gives you the UTF-16 encoding but in the URL it is encoded as UTF-8.
The following code ...

I will need to know how to convert to ascii directly from utf8 "%E4%B8%AD" percent hex to dec.
You will have to check with some more codes but I think this will do
Procedure.u PercentHexToDec(PercentHex.s)
Protected result.u, l.l = Val("$" + RemoveString(PercentHex, "%"))
If l & $FFFFFF80 = 0 ...
