ObexFTP doesn't work with filename with special characters

[Fabien Lusseau]

Binary package hint: obexftp

For example for My Sony Ericsson in France, I can access to all normal directories and all directories that have é, à, è, ù, ê, etc ... doesn't work anymore ...

And for the Sony Ericsson some very important directories like 'Mémoire téléphone' the principal directory; this directory contain the internal memory only accessible with obexftp (Mass storage work only for the memory card).

For information: Theses folders work with gnome-vfs-obexftp .

same behaviour here, but i must say, really don't remember that ever work for me.

as a way to get around this, you can set the telephone language to English, just for the transfer.

Unicode support exits only from 0.22.

Currently 0.19 is the newest from repos. (Still in Jaunty.)

Workaround:
Install the following packages from Debian SID:
obexftp
libusb-0.1-4
libbluetooth2
libopenobex1
libmulticobex1
libobexftp0

It's working in Jaunty. Please include the new version in repos!
