Makes sense.

I guess we should add a charset parameter to the VFS config - it would 
already be there for SQL, but not for FTP - and use it. Would be a 
framework level change, though.

I'm using greek locale (el_GR/ISO-8859-7).

If I create a file/directory with greek characters, Gollem creates it 
using UTF8 characters over FTP, even though the FTP sever does not 
support the UTF8 feature. Directory is readable by Gollem, but the 
locale of the FTP server is using ISO-8859-7 so it is unreadable to 
every other FTP client that correctly interprets the file listing as 
NOT being UTF.

This is a show stopper for us, I hope it is simple enough to add 
proper filename character conversion and have it being forced, ie by a 
setting in the backends.php.
