Use of "UTF-16" encoding -Connect() method waits i

Question

Hi ,
I have following Simple Code to connect to an ftp server. I'm Using encoding as "UTF-16".
The connect() method is waiting infinitely and nothing happens.... no exception and also the program doesn't get terminated.
This is My Code:

ftpClient.setRemoteHost(Server);
ftpClient.setControlEncoding("UTF-16");
ftpClient.connect();
ftpClient.login(user,password);
ftpClient.setConnectMode(FTPConnectMode.PASV);
ftpClient.setType(FTPTransferType.BINARY);
ftpClient.quit();

Same works fine when I try to use encoding as "UTF-8". Anybody knows is there any other way to set "UTF-16"?
Thanks,
Yogi.

Answer 1

Does the server support UTF-16?

How one will check whether FTP Server Supports "UTF-16"?

I checked with Windows 7 but it has one setting -> Allow UTF-8 = True / False.
and in FileZilla (Client) one can set Force UTF-8 or not?
But nothing specific about UTF-16.

Thanks,

I've not heard of an FTP server supporting UTF-16 (although no doubt they exist). So I'm wondering why you think your FTP server will.
