WinSCP to Ubuntu SFTP charset problem

[olopopo]

Hi everyone!

I'm guessing if one of you has ever had this issue when copying files from
Windoze to Ubuntu:

I have a Windoze box that runs a WinSCP (SFTP client) against a Ubuntu SSH
(SFTP server). Everything works fine when I copy files, but when files have
special characters (Windoze's language is Spanish, so text may have ñ,á,ó,
and so) the Ubuntu server (utf8) shows them as a unrecognized char.

On WinSCP files show OK, then this makes me guess that WinSCP always uses
iso8859-1 or iso8859-15 even if you set the force option to utf8.

Does anyone had this problem?
I know i can iconv the text files after copying, but that's just a poor
patch.
Is WinSCP's fault? If this is so (that i guess) Is there a GPL/free win32
SFTP (version 5) client out there? I've been googling, and my only hope is
that I find a SFTP java client that supports conversion to utf8.


PS: SFTP is needed for ACL permission use... I think SCP doesn't support it

Thank you in advance,
Marcos Lorenzo de Santiago.
