Is it possible to fix it somehow?

I found solution in another program - WinSCP.
But in FreeFileSync there is no such setting.

Mega.nz doesn't support FTP. Are you using some kind of local FTP server?

It supports ok with official local server
https://mega.nz/cmd
https://github.com/meganz/MEGAcmd/blob/master/contrib/docs/FTP.md

Also I found an app like FreeFileSync but that supports Mega without ftp - it is Air Explorer.
It would be great to see Mega support in FreeFileSync.

I bet this FTP server fails to report "UTF8" when asked via the "FEAT" command. Can you check this, e.g. issue a custom FTP command via FileZilla.

Indeed we have a non-compliant server:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2640#section-3.2
Servers MUST support the UTF-8 feature in response to the FEAT
command [RFC2389]. The UTF-8 feature is a line containing the exact
string
"UTF8".

The MEGAcmd FTP server returns "UTF8 ON" instead of "UTF8".

Yes, server's response is "UTF8 ON"

So, it is Mega's fail.
