Problem in FTP of file with chinese chars
Hi,

I have a file in my PC with Chinese (PRC) characters. When I transfer that file into my AIX5.3 server through FTP, I get junk characters instead of Chinese chars. Last week I copied the content from my notepad and pasted in vi editor. The Chinese characters were correct, but when I try now, I get dots (......) in place of Chinese chars.

Could anybody suggest someway for solving this problem. Do I have to set any environment variable, etc in the server.

Thanks in advance,
McArthy.

Maybe try to tar it, transfer it, and see if it's still showing correct characters when untar'ed.

Ah WIn client ok. Then just zip it and hope you can use zip or unzip on your AIX box ie. maybe install it if you can get the RPMs.
