writing non-ascii characters via SSH
{ this is a resend } I am currently experiencing difficulty in writing text files containing French characters on my OpenBSD 4.0 server via SSH. On both the FreeBSD client system and on the OpenBSD server system I have the following: ~/.profile: export LANG="C" export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1" export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1" ~/.inputrc: set convert-meta Off set editing-mode emacs set input-meta On set output-meta On Note that I am contacting the FreeBSD system from a Ubuntu Linux box. On that system I have the same ~/.inputrc file but instead of ~/.profile I am using ~/.bashrc: export LANG="C" export LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1" export LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.ISO8859-1" All three users are using the bash shell. The accented characters (ex: i) end up as question marks. // juan Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo!
