Are you talking about the file names containing UTF-8 or the file data? I'm
assuming the data. File names are a completely different story.

curl doesn't care what the data you're sending means--it just sends it. How
it's interpreted at the other end is up to the other end.

You don't say what OS you're running on or what the server is running. curl
doesn't convert the data (on *nix systems this isn't really an issue, but
KNOWN_BUG 21 is for the other cases), but it's possible FileZilla is making
an educated guess and doing some kind of automatic data conversion (e.g. if
it's transferring to a Windows system, it might convert from UTF-8 to CP1252).
If that's the case, you'll have to convert the file yourself before
transferring it with curl, because it's too easy to do it wrong if the
transfer client does it itself.
