Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When I add a new FTP folder with the network folder dialogue available in "Networks", the default encoding is "Arabian (ISO 8859-6)". While Dolphin of course can not know which encoding is used, I don't think this is a reasonable default encoding since it is quite unlikely for a German user (and I set KDE to German) to use that encoding. People not knowing about encodings, or not knowing which encoding their FTP server uses (me being one of the latter) might just leave it that way and experience problems when using special characters. The default should either be an international encoding like UTF-8 (if that is often used for FTP - as I said, I don't know) or the local encoding depending on the setting of the user.
It occurs adding SSH folder as well. In my case, the default is "Báltico (ISO 8859-13)", that is the first in the list.
The issue is still there in KDE 4.3.2 (Kubuntu)
This is fixed in KDE 4.4, thank you very much :)
