Customize Ftp Protocol
« on: October 19, 2007, 12:05:00 PM »

First of all, this post is related as the ftp protocol when xbmc is running as a ftp client when accessing file source which has ftp:// protocol.  It is not a question of using xbmc as ftp server.

I am using Gene6 FTP server on my PC.  The problem with Gene6 server is that UTF-8 support is turned off by default.  The only way to turn on UTF-8 support is by sending the following sequence of command after login:

CLNT clientname
OPTS UTF8 ON


clientname can be any string describing the client software.  The available option can be retrieved via ftp command FEAT.  XBMC by default does not send OPTS UTF8 ON command, and thus all unicode filename come out as un-readable.

Is there a way we can insert customized command into the ftp protocol client?

If not, where (what file) in the source code that handle ftp protocol.

Thanks.
