For the transfer of data on the data connection, FTP supports:
- All single-byte conversions available through iconv. For example,
iconv supports conversions between IBM-1047 and IBM-850, so conversions
between IBM-1047 and IBM-850 are available for data transfer.
- UNICODE conversions available through iconv: UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE,
and UTF-16LE for network transfer, and UTF-8 and UTF-16 for file storage.
- Multibyte conversions for the Chinese standard GB18030 using code
page IBM-5488 with code page IBM-1388 or UTF-8, as well as certain
double-byte character set (DBCS) code page pairs that are equivalent
to supported DBCS languages.
- Both single-byte and double-byte data conversions are supported
with the translate tables provided with TCP/IP or generated by the
CONVXLAT utility.
