Hi everybody, I've got two Debian Sarge servers running. Apart from smtp/imap they serve smb for Windows networks and also I wanted to be able to have remote access via sftp.
Samba stores its files, as configured by default, using the utf-8 charset. The locale is set to "de_DE.UTF-8" and everything works just fine - apart from the sftp access... Using sftp (either from konqueror or winscp), special characters, namely German "Umlaute", do not show properly and if I save a new file with a filename containing special chars, they apparently are not UTF-encoded as I can't read them from the console nor from smb. I went through google several times but I could not find anything which kinda takes me by surprise as this problem must be known to some lads out there :-) Thanks, janleewe -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject "unsubscribe".
