Answer 2

Maybe try UTF8?

Answer 3

I use:

Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding(false);

Thanks a lot! :)

Answer 4

There is still a problem:

When i upload a file to the ftp server with filezilla or a similar program, the UTF8-Encoding works well.
However, if the file has been uploaded on another way, without a defined encoding, it doesn't work with UTF8. In that way i have to choose another one.
Can I check the encoding of the file on the ftp server in some way?

Answer 5

Is the problem with the *contents* of the file or the *filename*?

If someone has uploaded a file with the wrong encoding, it may not be possible to get the original file back.
