I often have to synchronize with the Chinese FTP server. Since the 11.24 version added the "Auto-detect FTP server character encoding (UTF8 or ANSI)" function, my synchronization cannot be performed. But previous versions all work fine without this error. Will this error be corrected in the future? Or can you give the corresponding setting character encoding option?

What is the FEAT response of the server? (test e.g. with FileZilla)

That's just the login, not the FEAT response.

If you know what encoding is used on your FTP server (UTF8 or ANSI), you can specify it manually in the FreeFileSync settings.
Until the problem is resolved in new versions of FreeFileSync, you can temporarily use previous versions that worked without problems. Friezer, 23 Mar 2024, 18:30
thanks for your replay.but where is the encoding settings for FFS? Sorry I can't find that,thanks.

Would you be able to provide me with a test login to this FTP server? Perhaps there's some way to fix encoding detection.
