use_utf8 Property

Enables UTF8 for all string content.

Syntax

def get_use_utf8() -> bool: ...
def set_use_utf8(value: bool) -> None: ...

use_utf8 = property(get_use_utf8, set_use_utf8)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

If UseUTF8 is true, the class expects all downloaded filenames to be encoded in UTF-8. Set UseUTF8 to false if you connect to a server that does not support UTF8 (e.g., OpenSSH). In this case the file names will be interpreted in the default character set.
