The FTP protocol is designed on top of the original Telnet protocol, which is specified in [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/rfc0854.txt <nowiki>RFC 854</nowiki>]. The relevant sections of the Telnet specification regarding FTP are those covering the Network Virtual Terminal (NVT). |
According to [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/rfc0854.txt RFC 854], the NVT requires the use of (7-bit) ASCII as the character set. Use of any other character set requires explicit negotiation. This character set only contains 127 different characters: English letters and numbers, punctuation characters and a few control characters. Accented letters, umlauts or other scripts are not contained in the ASCII character set. | According to [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/rfc0854.txt RFC 854], the NVT requires the use of (7-bit) ASCII as the character set.
