Problem Description:
FTP upload bug when filename contains unicode characters. Filename after uploaded has funny characters. This is a showstopper for us as we have filenames containing unicode characters (Thai / Vietnamese / Chinese / Japanese), and it cannot be uploaded to FTP sites via CFFTP. 

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a dummy file with the filename ???.txt 
Attempt to upload it to an sFTP site with CFFTP. 

<CFFTP
	action="putfile"
	connection="objConnection"
	localfile="c:\???.txt"
	remotefile="???.txt"
	passive="no"
	transfermode="auto" stoponerror="yes" timeout="300" retrycount="1">

File should upload successfully and appear in the FTP site. Use this in JVM flags if you cannot get past the uploading part :  -Dfile.encoding=UTF8

Actual Result:
Filename after upload is : áÁÇ.txt

Expected Result:
Expected filename should be : ???.txt. 
Using FileZilla / WinSCP / SSH via command line prompt and interface to upload said unicode file to sFTP is fine, ruling out issue with the sFTP server. 

Any Workarounds:
None.
