Hi I have been confused about a matter between cygwin and the (open)ssh
server package.=20

I am also finding it a bit tricky in wording this in the best way possible.

Essentially I am trying to figure out why FileZilla is able to display
unicode characters when connected to the SSHd server setup using cygwin.

Please bear with me with this.

I believe everything works when =A0FileZilla connects to the SSHd server is
because it does not go through cygwin's BASH (which doesnt support unicode),
instead it communicates directly to OpenSSH's (which does support Unicode).

I believe that is why Unicode works on FileZilla but not in Putty.

Please let me know if this is all wrong.

Thanks in advance
Eric
