Hi,
If you are uploading to a linux server, then there is a good chance that the filesystem is not configured to support utf-8 filenames. I actually do not know how to configure this myself, but I do have one linux machine which just supports utf-8 filenames out of the box. It's running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. I just tested creating chinese character filenames, no problems... I don't think any of my fedora linux machines support this, though. It would probably require less time to just use ubuntu than it would to try to study and fiddle with fedora/rhel/centos to get it working.

If you have too much trouble with this and really need it, then there is a possibility that I could change my web hosting platform from fedora to ubuntu. I am looking for some more customers, anyway :-)
