During an FTP session, this service uses the character set specified in the encoding parameter of the pub.client.ftp:login service. If the file list this service retrieves includes characters from other languages, set the encoding parameter appropriately. For example, set encoding to SJIS for file names containing Japanese characters. If you do not set encoding in pub.client.ftp:login, the default JVM encoding is used.
