cffile and UTF-8

Paul,

So I could set the trasnferMode attribute to "BINARY"?

Thanks!

Ysais.

Additional Information

Two of my original files are showing up as ANSI. One of them as UTF-8. The funny thing is that the encoding looks different to me in notepad ++ and Editplus. In the first one the encoding shows as ANSI, but in the latter the encoding shows as UTF-8.

I took some steps further and went to cf_root/lib/neo-runtime.xml and made sure that the default character encoding was set to UTF-8. The more I dig into this the less answers that are popping up in my head. The issue persists :-)

Thanks!

Ysais. Text

Adam, Paul and Mack thank you for your responses.

I will review my file and your observations and I will post in here how it went.

Thanks!

first check that the original file is actually encoded as utf-8.

What version of CF? There was a problem with <cffile> and the charset
attribute back in CFMX6.1... 7.x... I forget which.

This could potentially be your problem.

CFFILE is independent from CFFTP (I'm assuming you're using CFFTP to
upload to the remote server). I think you're searching for the
transferMode attribute of the CFFTP tag.
