As reference: #18604

Would you mind to explain how to reproduce this situation? It's also not cool to ignore the issue template (the second time actually). That makes reproducing such issues much harder and lowers your chance than one will fix it or is at least able to reproduce.

For such a problem the information what kind of ftp server you are connection too could be relevant.

[vgdh]

Its very easy to reproduce.
On FTP server add folder with cyrillic name "НазваниеПапки".
Then on any version of Nextcloud add this FTP to "FTP External Storage"
You are will not able to see this folder "НазваниеПапки" in your nextcloud External Storage.
But english name works well.

@vgdh Please also tell us which ftp server you are using in detail. I made the experience that not all of them are working in the same way and that the behavior might differ based on the used server package.

I experience this issue on all ftp that a try to use. Unfortunately i can't give credentials for private FTPs our company uses.
Its been FTP 4 different FTP from 4 different company, i guess server side soft is also pretty mach different .

I'm not able to reproduce.

• Have a local development setup for Nextcloud 20
• https://github.com/stilliard/docker-pure-ftpd/wiki/Basic-example-walk-through
• Connect with FileZilla
• Create a folder "НазваниеПапки"
• Create a file "test.md"
• Configure the above ftp as external storage in Nextcloud

I just tested it on my own server with a ftp share, mounted as "FTP", with the following results:

1. ❎ - I've created a ftp folder "AAA-НазваниеПапки" on the file system, accessed the ftp share, but the folder wasn't displayed.
2. ✅ - I've created a ftp folder "BBB-НазваниеПапки" using the Nextcloud files app, accessed the ftp share and the newly created folder was instantly displayed.
3. ❎ - I've executed the following command on the server but the first created folder wasn't displayed:
   ./occ files:scan "/testuser/files/FTP"
4. ✅ - I've executed the following command on the server and the first created folder was displayed:
   `./occ files:scan testuser

➡️ So my conclusion is, that a character set problem most likely doesn't exist but the file system need to be scaned to update the folder and file list information of the external share in the database.
