[Bug 349913] Re: sftp: cannot enter umlauts like ä, ö, ü

[Ken Sharp]

Version: 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1.1

Still present.

Still cannot enter characters but using tab to auto-complete will work
so long as the file does not begin with a "foreign" character:

sftp> get caf\303\251 
Fetching /tmp/café to café
sftp> get na\303\257ve 
Fetching /tmp/naïve to naïve
sftp> get anasth\303\246sia 
Fetching /tmp/anasthæsia to anasthæsia

Sadly entering the "\303\246ether" for "æther" doesn't work.

Title:
  sftp: cannot enter umlauts like ä, ö, ü

Status in Portable OpenSSH:
  Fix Released
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.

  This is my curent locale:

  $ locale
  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
  LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
