I have a Drupal website that I transferred it from host A to host B. I have some images uploaded with its Arabic file name, it works fine on host A, but after zipping Drupal files into a zip archieve, sending it to host B, extracting it there and finally run my website there, I found that the file names have been corrupted. the following screen shot demonstrates the issue:

What's the cause of this issue? How could I keep correct multiple byte file names correctly during zipping and unzipping?

By the way, the two hosts are Linux.

Are the two hosts the same host? If not, its highly likely host B does not support arabic writting.

  • On host B, from Drupal, I have uploaded an image with Arabic file name, also from cPanel I have uploaded another one with Arabic file name too and it works fine. I think that your theory is not correct.
