As noted earlier this is fixed in Xenial and newer, however still seen on Trusty.
Thanks to cjwatson for pointing out the merge that has the fix for this as well as noting other commits to avoid regressions. After looking at the fixes, I believe this would be a fairly invasive and involved SRU to get these pushed back to the version found on Trusty. Because of this I am marking the Trusty task as 'wontfix'. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: In Progress => Won't Fix ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: Joshua Powers (powersj) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349913 Title: sftp: cannot enter umlauts like ä, ö, ü Status in portable OpenSSH: Fix Released Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in openssh source package in Trusty: Won't Fix Bug description: When I am on the sftp prompt, I cannot enter something like ä, ö or ü. It just does nothing if I press the keys, so I can't transfer files including these characters. On the other hand, ls works fine with such files.
