Description

When using GetFTP or PutFTP, the filename is not properly handled by NiFi if it contains special characters like é, è, à, ...

RFC-2640 is an extension of the FTP protocol to handle non-English characters (source: https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Character_Encoding). The client and server must both support UTF-8.

This Jira proposes to add a property for "Use UTF-8 Encoding", defaulted to false to maintain existing behavior. When set to true, setControlEncoding("UTF-8") should be called on the client.
