If you are using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer files to or from a Windows NT-based server that is running Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0, file names may be changed, or you may not be able to locate files and folders that are on the server. These files or folders contain extended ASCII characters. Users may also have trouble logging on if a user's user name contains extended ASCII characters.
CAUSE
The FTP server functionality in Internet Information Server 4.0 does not support extended characters. The FTP server removes characters that are above ASCII 240 (in decimal values).
