SSH and RSYNC problem

[ncristin]

Hello
I have this problem.
I tried to copy from a Fedora 6 with rsync (via ssh) a file that has some italian characters inside (file it's named qualità). It gives me no error it copies the file but when I go to see on the remote server (openSuse 10.2) i got this new file "qualit?" instead of "qualità". The same problem with the folders.

I tought there has been an rsync problem but tryng to vi a new file called "àèòàèù" by ssh (without rsync) to the same openSuse 10.2 I got the new file "???????".

I tried different version of ssh from Linux and WIndows (putty, ttssh, cygwin) but I have the same problem. I've tried creating the new file by ssh from an openSuse 10.2 to Redhat 7.2 and it's not working as well.

I've got surprised to see that from openSuse 10.2 (my laptop) to openSuse 10.2 (server) it's working fine.

All my distro have the Italian keyboard installed and English language as default.

Thank you and have a great New Year

I was betting on my newbie ignorance but I see that I have a problem indeed.
I'll ask those of ssh too.
:drown:
My backup program is soooo unusable...

Bob Proulx helped me. It's all about local variables.
Linux commands: "locale" and "localedef"

I had my LC_ctype="us". I'd changed with "it.UTF-8" standards and it works.
I still see the question characters "???" instead of "èòà" but it's working. If I wanna change the folder in ssh I do a normaly "cd èòà" or "cd ???". Both type are working if in the current directory I have only one directory with "???".

If for coincidence you have 2 o 3 folders with the same caption "???" (you may say it's impossibile but is not ) it will "push" you in the one that's newer than the others.

I tried in 3 different distro (openSuse 10.2, Fedora 6, RedHat 7.2) and all worked in the same way.
For me this thread it's closed.
Best wishes for 2007
