Re: sftp: Umlauts and Spaces in filenames
From someone who speaks a native language with several extended characters: even non-unix systems (has Windows earned the system status already?) sucks with weird file names. snip That should work.. but, spaces and extended characters are so unclean in the Unix world, it was never designed to use them.
sftp: Umlauts and Spaces in filenames
Hi, I need to transfer files via sftp (ssh ftp) from a Windows machine. This files may contain Umlauts (vd|) and Spaces. I made several tests and stuck with the following: sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:'/file-withv|d.txt' works, but sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:'/file with spaces.txt' doesn't work. If I use the interactive sftp shell its different: sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to windowsmachine.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: sftp get '/file with spaces.txt' works, but I am unable to enter Umlauts in the interactive mode and when I copy paste them they disappear. I need to create a script and because of the spaces-problem I used expect.pm to trigger the interactive mode. Is there a way to make it work with latin1 characters (using FreeBSD, but I guess that shouldn't matter). I can enter Umlauts perfectly in the shell (bash here) and I've set LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15 export LANG Am I missing something? Is there a chance to get this working? Best Regards, Benny
Re: sftp: Umlauts and Spaces in filenames
Apparently the Umlauts in my mail got mangled by majordomo, I meant german latin1 characters, sometimes rewritten as 'ae' 'oe' and 'ue'. benny Hi, I need to transfer files via sftp (ssh ftp) from a Windows machine.

Re: sftp: Umlauts and Spaces in filenames
I ran a few tests, and OpenBSD seems perfectly capable of using those extended characters have you tried using doubled quotes? sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:file with spaces and Umlauts.txt That should work.. but, spaces and extended characters are so unclean in the Unix world, it was never designed to use them. -Nix Fan.

Best Regards, Benny It is up to the application to make necessary translations. Formerly there was the DOS2Unix and such filters. WinXP, Linux and to a certain extend FreeBSD, translate encodings with more or less success. Since I see you use Perl, have a look at man utf8(3p) Then, now part of the X distribution, there is the luit filter man luit(1) Not easy in an hybrid environment, for my part, I am blocked with tcl and NFSv3 complaining about incompatible character sets.
Re: sftp: Umlauts and Spaces in filenames
So it must be an FreeBSD issue, sorry for the noise. I ran a few tests, and OpenBSD seems perfectly capable of using those extended characters have you tried using doubled quotes? I tried *everything* (backslash, double quotes, single quotes,...) BTW my ssh version is OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 but I tried also openssh-portable-4.7.p1_1,1 from FreeBSD ports. sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:file with spaces and Umlauts.txt That should work.. but, spaces and extended characters are so unclean in the Unix world, it was never designed to use them. Yes, but we are not in the 70's of the last century anymore ;-) -Nix Fan.
