RFC2640 standardizes internationalized pathnames for FTP and states that
compliant servers will support UTF-8. This means that the URL
ftp://domain.com/espa%c3%b1a.txt will work for those servers. Noncompliant
servers could user other encodings. For ISO-8859-1, the URL
ftp://domain.com/espa%f1a.txt should work. Some servers could support detect
the coding and support both.
