character displayed incorrectly by ftp
Hi there,

I have a ftp server called atlantis. Because of the f...g french characters, I noticed something very weird. Depending on what program I use (ftp, lftp or ssh) the same character is displayed as three different ways.

On my local computer, the file is correctly displayed as "modéles". This file was uploaded on atlantis using lftp. Thus lftp displays the remote file correctly. But if I use builtin ftp or ssh, the file name is displayed incorrectly

Here you see the way the file is displayed on my local computer using terminal, ftp and lftp :
Code:
xxx@localhost:~$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x  2   xxx xxx 4096    2009-07-22 05:03    Modéles
xxx@localhost:~$ echo -e "open atlantis\nuser xxx xxx\nls" | ftp -n
drwxr-xr-x  2   xxx xxx 4096    Jul 22 03:03        Mod??les
xxx@localhost:~$ lftp xxx:xxx@atlantis -e "ls; exit"
drwxr-xr-x  2   xxx xxx 4096    Jul 22 03:03        Modéles

Here you see the way the file is displayed on the atlantis server using ssh :
Code:
xxx@atlantis:~$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x  2   xxx xxx 4096    2009-07-22 05:03    Modéles

Can you help me understand what's wrong ?
Thanks for your help.
Santiago

face(1) 							   User Commands							   face(1)

NAME

       face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface

SYNOPSIS

       face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  Framed  Access  Command  Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
       forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.

       filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any  string
       that  conforms  to  the	UNIX   system  file  naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
       ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
       command line, the  FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
	LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -a alias_file	       Alias file

       -c command_file	       Command file

       -i init_file	       Initial file

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       filename        The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially.

EXIT STATUS

       The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a  FACE user.

FILES

       $HOME/pref/.environ
