Topic: Charset in sftp_config file

In /etc/ssh/sftp_config' file is default line

Charset                 "ISO-8859-15"    #set charset of computer

because I am from Poland I change coding page to my lang (Polish character)
on 

Charset                 "ISO-8859-2"    #set charset of computer

When I change to ISO-8859-2 I can upload and dowload file (early I have problem Is it bug mysecure shell? who have opinion in this question) where is in name polish character e.g. (??ó??? etc) and I see good and corect this character in WinSCP application or when I share this files by the samba on Windows. But on linux i see question char ??? in place polish character when I use ls command or mc.

I don't check another lang but I think is similarly??? Where is problem? in my linux system or coding page?
Maybe is uniwersal character set which display and allow send corect files with name various lang?

How setup this parametr or another linux system setup to  correctly display local character in both system linux and windows. It's possible?. smile

Best regards

Re: Charset in sftp_config file

Hi,

Check on your linux if variable LANG is correct, and maybe if you use putty check configuration of your session (Window -> Translation).

French works well on my linux (MySecureShell) and windows (Samba) smile.
