Browser → 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.

Transfers → General → Transfer Files

Files can be transfered using either the connection from the browser or by opening a new dedicated transfer connection. Using the setting 'Open new connection' will add files to be transferred to the Transfer Window and open a new connection to the server to initiate the transfer. The option 'Use browser connection' will transfer files using the connection from the browser. The file transfer is only reported at the bottom of the browser window without any detailed progress indicator. The transferred files will not get added to the Transfer Window. This setting is a also available per bookmark.
