Updating this thread for users searching the archives. Additional commentary can be found in this thread I started on Stackoverflow.com. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3120295/confirm-that-python-2-6-ftplib-does-not-support-unicode-file-names-alternatives
Gabriel Genellina added the following comment on Python-list: According to RFC 2640, you should use UTF-8 instead. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2640.html The server software must be able to convert from file system encoding to utf-8 and viceversa; check its configuration. The stackoverflow thread mentioned above also contains a workaround/ugly-hack if you need to use Unicode path/file names with ftplib and/or a file server that does not support Unicode path/file names.
