Encoding for SFTP Transfers

(Requires the SFTP module in EFT Express) You can specify UTF-8 or Auto-detect encoding for SFTP transfers on the Site. For most connecting clients, Auto-detect is preferred and is the default.

To configure SFTP encoding for the Site

  1. Open the SFTP Settings dialog box.

  2. In the Encoding area, click UTF-8 or Auto-detect.

    • UTF-8—For Unicode-only transfers

    • Auto-detect—Detects whether to proceed in ASCII mode or can switch to UTF-8 mode for the transmission and receipt of path names and other strings communicated between client and server.

  3. Click OK to close the dialog box.

  4. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT.
