Question:

Chilkat FTP2 GetFile method changes the encoding of the file

I am using GetFile method of my Ftp2 object to fetch a file and store it locally to then process it.

These are CSV files, which are originally stored in UTF-8 format.

I am finding after the file is save locally that the format of the file has changed, as when attempting to read in the file with accented characters they import incorrectly i.e. "?"

I have proven that this is the problem, as if I re-save the file in UTF-8 format and then run my import process then all the accented characters display correctly.

Thanks in advance.
