# Changing the text encoding

If you work with a server in a non-English-speaking country, you may find that sometimes file names do not display as expected. If file names have incorrect characters, or are garbled, you may need to change the text encoding.

To change the text encoding, choose View > Text Encoding, and select the correct encoding for the server from the list.

If you are currently connected to a favorite server, the text encoding you have selected will be associated with that server only. If you did not connect via a favorite, or are not currently connected to a server, the text encoding you select will become the default.

The default text encoding is Unicode (UTF8) which should be compatible with most servers. You should only change the text encoding if you are having a specific problem related to the display of international characters.
