Hi, please tell us what you are trying to do. Encoding (with UTF-8) is a method to convert a Unicode string to a sequence of bytes. Decoding does the reverse.
When i open > directly and try to decode the file the error is this: `UnicodeDecodeError: > 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: unexpected code byte` > This means the series of byte that you are trying to convert to a string is not valid UTF-8. It can't be, because it would not contain 0xff or 0xfe bytes. but when i try to encode the file in the server the encode change the parts > of the file and the result is > this:`\xc3\xbf\xc3\x98\xc3\xbf\xc3\xa0\x00\x10JFIF` without say that the > So here you *encode* the file, not decoding it.
