[JSch-users] File name encoding

[Viet H. P. <hoa...@ya...>]

Hi,
The SFTP specs (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13) say that with versions from 3 to 5, file names must be encoded in UTF-8; with versions from 6 to 13, file name encoding can be negotiated by the server and the client; while there is no explicit statement for versions from 0 to 2.
And, I see the following in method "setFilenameEncoding" in class com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelSftp:
...    int sversion=getServerVersion();    if(sversion > 3 &&        !encoding.equals(UTF8)){      throw new SftpException(SSH_FX_FAILURE,                               "The encoding can not be changed for this sftp server.");    }...
Do you think the Jsch code violates the SFTP specs?
