Unable to load [some Linux directory]: Error parsing folder listing

Beyond Compare will auto detect the character encoding of an FTP server. To override this setting, select "Tools > FTP Profiles". Select the profile for your server. In the General tab, changing the Encoding setting from detect to the encoding of your server.

I receive the error in BC3 Linux V3.3.7.

Using FileZilla I get the following log:

Command: cd "xx"
Response: New directory is: "/xx"
Command: ls
Status: Listing directory /xx
Status: Invalid character sequence received, disabling UTF-8. Select UTF-8 option in site manager to force UTF-8.
Status: Directory listing successful

Works in FileZilla if UTF-8 disabled. I assume UTF-8 is in use in BC3.

UTF-8 coding is culprit - can I disable it somewhere in settings?
If NO, please consider adding an option.
