On a local ftp-server there exist some directories with a charachter "я" (in Russian) in names. So when I enter such directories this character appears twice (as you can seen on screenshots) and when I try to copy a file from this directory I get an error "Error downloading file".

After I entered directoty:

When I'm trying to download same file from same directory with Firefox for example, It works ok.
Problem with download from FTP

Some explanations: Russian letter "я" has a code 0xff in the single-byte Windows 1251 table, but in the Unix system this code is different (if enabled), or non-ASCII letters could be restricted at all.
ADv, could you check whether this behaviour is reproduced with another FTP (non-browser) client? And what is the code table on FTP server and Firefox? If 1251, this is the well known problem with character 0xff.

The problem is that ftp _should_ use Telnet as the protocol for sending commands, and in Telnet, 0xff has a special meaning. Unfortunately not all ftp servers seem to use this encoding, so it's currently not supported by Total Commander...
