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

 

With 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3 (Trusty) the alt-tab completion works, but the
character isn't echoed back.

sftp> get nave 
Fetching /tmp/naïve to naïve

Attempts to enter a character (AltGr+a for æ or AltGr+[+i for ï, for
example) simply results in an error beep, which is new but thoroughly
useless and a step backwards.

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"
