Special characters getting changed by Dreamweaver

Hi - As I'm sure will be obvious by the question, I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver.
I've tried searching for my answer though I don't think I've thought of the
correct keywords to use in the search - thus, I haven't found the answer I need.

Here is the situation. I'm running Dreamweaver 6.1 on WindXP. I connect to a
Debian Linux server to access the .XSL files. As the site is German, we have
lots of special character encodings for u-umlauts and such. We use the ü
format for these characters. When I download the files to/from outside of
Dreamweaver, I can see these encodings.

My problem is when I download within Dreamweaver, I believe Dreamweaver is
trying to be nice and displays these encodings as their correct character (the
u-umlaut instead of ü). Very nice of Dreamweaver. However, when I upload
the file, it doesn't upload the "ü" - instead it uploads the u-umlaut
character itself. And this causes our server to choke a bit.

Is there anyway (Okay, I'm sure there is) I can have Dreamweaver not change
these characters on me? Just leave the file along and try not to be nice?

Many thanks in advance for your help,
John

I do not believe the last sentence. Give URL!
