how to handle french char. in SunOS

Hi Friends,

Need help regarding how to handle french char. in SunOS.

I have to remove blank line from 100 files ( which also has some french char.), so I put all those file in unix (SunOS) by using filezilla and by using sed command I achived this, and I again get all the file back through filezilla to my local WinXP system, but the french char. in all those files are changed.

for example: one of the file "file_french.txt" has one of the line as

Quote:

"T�l�phone","123456789"

when i put this file through filezilla in "SunOS", it shows as:

Code:

bash-2.03$vi file_french.txt
"T\303\251l\303\251phone","123456789"

and after getting back to my winXP system, now it is showing me as:

Quote:

"TȨlȨphone","123456789"

Can some please help, why this happen and how to avoid this, as I cannot changed it manually, I have more than 100 files and much more french word in all the files.

thanks in advance

NAME

       french - a list of french words

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/french is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

FILES

       /etc/alternatives/dictionary  is  a  symbolic  link  to	a  /usr/share/dict/<language>  file.   /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
       /etc/alternatives/dictionary, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list.  See update-alternatives(8) for
       more information.

       The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/ameri-
       can-english and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of English and Danish words if they exist.  Such lists  should  be  coded
       using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.
