Take a look at setControlEncoding

Answer 2

What Encoding do you set?

I set UTF-16. It gives me another exception during connect

This is my code :

if(m_ftpClient==null)
{
m_ftpClient = new FTPClient();
m_ftpClient.setRemoteHost(url.getHost());
m_ftpClient.setControlEncoding("UTF-16");
m_ftpClient.connect();
m_ftpClient.login(user, password);
m_ftpClient.setConnectMode(FTPConnectMode.PASV);
m_ftpClient.setType(FTPTransferType.BINARY);

}//
