Just stumbled upon this issue muyself. :(
My hoster is using KOI8-R encoding on their servers (Dunno why not the UTF8, but that's up to them), and historically, I have many files uploaded with non-ASCII names... I'd like to have ability to abandon FTP plugin in favor of WinSCP, but the absence of encoding translation preventing the move.

It does not. OpenSSH SFTP server is poor one. It seems that they haven't made any changes in the server for years.

So if your server supports SFTP4, the translation should work.

Since 3.7.1 WinSCP supports Unicode encoding for SFTP4. So if your server supports SFTP4, the translation should work. If not, ask your vendor to implement it.

Character set translation is still on the wishlist. However note that this functionality was not ranked high on the recent user poll. So consequently it does not have high priority on the wishlist.

Please, do integration with iconv. It's too simple to programme, and you can supprot MANY encodings
