Encoding

To deal with non-printable characters, and other locale encoding schemes possible, FXP.One will encode all file-system paths, and human readable strings. The following commands, messages and items are encoded:

LOG|MSG= - All MSG= are encoded (That come from remote FTP) CMD|MSG= - When issuing a command, like that of "SITE", MSG are

                encoded.

Filenames - Like that of SRCNAME, DSTNAME and DIRLIST reply. Directory names- Like that of SRCDIR, DSTDIR, SRCPATH, DSTPATH,

                DIRLIST, CWD, MKD, RMD and PWD replies.

Affected commands are:

                DIRLIST(SRCNAME, DSTNAME, SRCDIR, DSTDIR, SRCPATH, DSTPATH, NAM

E)

                QUOTE(MSG)
                CWD(PATH)
                PWD(PATH)
                SIZE(PATH)
                QADD(SRCNAME,SRCDIR,SRCPATH,DSTNAME,DSTDIR,DSTPATH)
                DELE(PATH)
                MKD(PATH)
                RMD(PATH)
                SITE(CMD,MSG)
                REN(FROM,TO)
                MTDM(PATH)
                QGET(SRCPATH,DSTPATH)
                QERR(SRCPATH,DSTPATH)
                QS(SRCPATH,DSTPATH,SRCDIR,DSTDIR,MKD)
                QC(SRCPATH,DSTPATH)     

NOTE:

Instead of inventing yet another encoding scheme, I have gone for an existing encoding standard. Namely that of URL encoding. However, it is in the QUERY STRING syntax. This means, space (' ') is replace by plus ('+'). That means plus ('+') is encoded as "%2B".

The other valid characters are:

"A-Za-z0-9$-_.!*\(),/" ==> These are left as-is. Excluding ""

          " "          ==>   "+"
          All others   ==>   encoded as %xx
