I created a tex-file on Ubuntu. Now I upload the file via FTP on an Apache-Webserver. I am pretty sure, that the server is a unix-based server. After that I download the file from the webserver and I open it with JEdit on Windows-7 and german umlaute (ä, ö, etc.) are looking strange.
I thought: if I change the file-attributes in JEdit to UTF-8 all should be fine, but nevertheless, umlaute are still looking strange.
How can I handle the file-encoding dilemma?
Thanks in advance.
Go to Settings -> Transfers -> File Types in FileZilla and set to binary for the extension you’re using for your text file.
If you’re using the command line clients, try
binaryto switch to binary mode.
