When I'm trying to send files with Chinese characters over ftp, I am getting:
500 ERROR (Internal Server ERROR)
through my backend code; It's working fine for english characters but not for Chinese. What is the best possible way to send those files with Chinese names over FTP? Thanks in advance hope best will come.

The File Transfer Protocol, as defined in RFC959 and later, is one of the oldest protocols on the Internet, using as primary character set the 7-bit ASCII. International characters need a protocol that uses Unicode. Such a protocol is the SSH File Transfer Protocol or SFTP, proposed in RFC2640.
Using an SFTP client, you would be using the UTF-8 protocol on both client and
server (if their implementation follows the standard).
Windows 10 contains the command-line utility sftp.
Or as alternative you could use a third-party utility such as the free
WinSCP.

Use FTP binary transfer, rather than ASCII (ANSI) and zip files to hide filenames.

Windows does not support certain characters in filenames, e.g. forward slash and colon. Perhaps some multibyte Chinese characters contain illegal characters. Are there versions of Chinese, e.g. Hanyu Pinyin, that are more usable? – DrMoishe Pippik – 2019-01-30T22:17:20.980
we need to send those files and folders with smiplifed chinese characters – NEEL KANTH SHARMA – 2019-01-31T08:08:16.883
Test which characters cause issues and don't use 'em. – DrMoishe Pippik – 2019-01-31T18:35:27.260
Which operating systems on both ends and which ftp products for server and client. – harrymc – 2019-01-30T15:19:30.927
Server deployed on AWS server and for client its windows OS – NEEL KANTH SHARMA – 2019-01-31T08:06:12.283
Chinese-character files should be transferred using binary mode, e.g. per https://www.jscape.com/blog/ftp-binary-and-ascii-transfer-types-and-the-case-of-corrupt-files and many many others.
