BUG: Swedish chars in password

2010-03-26 17:01

Hi,

I have noticed that you are not able to log on to a server if the password contains letters other than a-zA-Z.

At least the character å (only tested with lowercase å) is passed faulty, and thereby the login attempt fails.

Runs WinSCP 4.2.7 (Build 758) with "Commander" interface on Windows XP SP3.

The protocol used is FTP, but as I haven't tried on other protocols I don't know if other protocols are affected.

I have tried to log in on the server in this case with another ftp-client, without failing to log in.

In what encoding does the server accept the password?

I have no idea, but since it works to login with the Windows command line ftp client...

UTF-8 I guess.

Well, works in FileZilla... :cry: (Don't say I have to get use to FileZilla...)
