 === I get an error {{{IO Error: Read Timed Out}}} ===
 When attempting to open a connection, there is either a firewall blocking requests, or no server is listening at the given address and port. If you get this error while already connected to the server, the network connection to the server is too slow or has a too high latency. You can try to increase the connection timout in ''Preferences → Connection → Timeouts''.

+=== Connection → Text Encoding ===
+The text encoding selected is used to decode the filenames in a directory listing sent by the server. It is important this matches the text encoding used by the server to encode the characters as otherwise characters not in the ASCII range (such as German Umlaute) are not displayed correctly. `UTF-8` (the default), `ISO-8859-1` and `Windows-1252` are the most common. You can also change the text encoding per browser using ''View → Text Encoding''.
