A user has used FTP to transfer some HTML files to our webserver. These HTML files contain characters such as:

‘ ’

which aren't properly encoded in HTML markup. When they've been uploaded, the website displays the � character (which can sometimes happen), but even if I open the HTML file in gedit directly on the server, the same encoding problem is there.

Any ideas on why this would happen?

It might help to set your transfer mode to "binary"

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the different FTP transfer modes. – VirtualMe Mar 4 '10 at 10:38
