heuristic ???
This is inpossible.
As example a valid cyrillic name in UTF-8 can be converted into valid name
in more that one charset (ISO-8859-5, KOI8-R, CP1251).
Client with help from user should tell server how to convert "utf-8" <->
8-bit character set, i.e. prefered charset for filename on server(remote
host).
