In addition to the fact that 8.3 names are an issue themselves as they might be not present on a particular system, it's about a multibyte name in your case.

Not sure about that and whether it's needed. I'd rather do inside out, use a non unicode filename with CURL and then move that file into some unicode name using a cmd script. Or even move it using COM. Regards Anatol
