I can't believe Chrome whcih by default uses utf8 chosed iso-8859-1 to presnt the filenames.
You were right Steven, when i explicitly told him to presnt page sin utf8 it then started to show tha filesname correctly.

First of all thank you very much for being so cooperative, i appreciate it.

Here is some of my system insight you wanted to see.

I'am using CentOS v6.4 becaue it is the only linux OS that supports cPanel which my clients need to administer their websites.

Hese is also how the terminal presents my filenames.

Its wird, because as locale showed from above terminal is set to 'utf-8' but the greek filename cannot be viewed properly.
I must say though, that i have renamed it from my Windows 8 system and then uploaded via FileZilla to my remote webhost server. Maybe windows 8 is causing this?

I'll try renaming it via terminal too.
f you want to see soemhtign  else please ask me to show you Steven.
