SSH and international characters (crosspost)
Hi all!
I know this has been posted before, but I haven't found a working answer and the previous topics are all archived, so let me begin anew. (I am crossposting it from the 10.6 forum.) I have a MacBook with 10.6.4 at home and a Windows 7 laptop at work. What I am trying to do is SSH-ing into my home laptop to perform some simple tasks.
The trouble I am having is no matter what I try, the command line doesn't display Cyrillic characters (I'm Russian, so I kinda need them from time to time). Instead I get question marks in the terminal and codes instead of letters when I type.
I have up till now found two links regarding the topic, one english ( http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090712151742269) and one russian ( http://theapplegeek.ru/archives/2761). The latter tells to edit two files: ~/.ssh/environment and /etc/sshd_config, adding LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 to the first one and AcceptEnv LANG LC_* to the second. I tried that and even tried adding PermitUserEnvironment yes to the /etc/sshd_config to no avail. The other link seems inapplicable, as it seems to assume that I am connecting from a *nix machine.
What is there left for me to do in this case?
PS Yeah, I am using PuTTY on the Windows machine.
