If you mandate UTF-8 in the protocol, you probably cause a regression if
your client has an iso8859-1 filename, and you dnd that to a VM where
you also expect the iso8859-1 filename. In this day and age, this is
just a corner case, but I'm not sure mandating UTF8 conversion of
filenames before dnd'ing them is not going to cause issue either.
