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 :

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

hiii,
in many of the linux machines i have tried this but the result is the same everywhere.
if there are double letters in a hostname then that is displayed as single letter.
e.g. if hostname is set to nepttune then login into the shell will display :
NEPTUNE(admin)@/

pure-authd
pure-authd(8) Pure-FTPd pure-authd(8)NAME
pure-authd - External authentication agent for Pure-FTPd.
SYNTAX
pure-authd [-p </path/to/pidfile>] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-B] <-s /path/to/socket> -r /program/to/run
DESCRIPTION
pure-authd is a daemon that forks an authentication program, waits for an authentication reply, and feed them to an application server.
pure-authd listens to a local Unix socket. A new connection to that socket should feed pure-authd the following structure :
account:xxx
password:xxx
localhost:xxx
localport:xxx
peer:xxx
end
(replace xxx with appropriate values) . localhost, localport and peer are numeric IP addresses and ports. peer is the IP address of the
remote client.
These arguments are passed to the authentication program, as environment variables :
AUTHD_ACCOUNT
AUTHD_PASSWORD
AUTHD_LOCAL_IP
AUTHD_LOCAL_PORT
AUTHD_REMOTE_IP
AUTHD_ENCRYPTED
The authentication program should take appropriate actions to fetch account info according to these arguments, and reply to the standard
output a structure like the following one :
auth_ok:1
uid:42
gid:21
dir:/home/j
end
auth_ok:xxx
If xxx is 0, the user was not found (the next authentication method passed to pure-ftpd will be tried) . If xxx is -1, the user was
found, but there was a fatal authentication error : user is root, password is wrong, account has expired, etc (next authentication
methods will not be tried) . If xxx is 1, the user was found and successfully authenticated.
uid:xxx
The system uid to be assigned to that user. Must be > 0.
gid:xxx
The primary system gid. Must be > 0.
dir:xxx
The absolute path to the home directory. Can contain /./ for a chroot jail.
slow_tilde_expansion:xxx (optional, default is 1)
When the command 'cd ~user' is issued, it's handy to go to that user's home directory, as expected in a shell environment. But
fetching account info can be an expensive operation for non-system accounts. If xxx is 0, 'cd ~user' will expand to the system user
home directory. If xxx is 1, 'cd ~user' won't expand. You should use 1 in most cases with external authentication, when your FTP
users don't match system users. You can also set xxx to 1 if you're using slow nss_* system authentication modules.
throttling_bandwidth_ul:xxx (optional)
The allocated bandwidth for uploads, in bytes per second.
throttling_bandwidth_dl:xxx (optional)
The allocated bandwidth for downloads, in bytes per second.
user_quota_size:xxx (optional)
The maximal total size for this account, in bytes.
user_quota_files:xxx (optional)
The maximal number of files for this account.
ratio_upload:xxx (optional)
radio_download:xxx (optional)
The user must match a ratio_upload:ratio_download ratio.
Only one authentication program is forked at a time. It must return quickly.
OPTIONS -u <uid>
Have the daemon run with that uid.
-g <gid>
Have the daemon run with that gid.
-B Fork in background (daemonization).
-s </path/to/socket>
Set the full path to the local Unix socket.
-R </path/to/program>
Set the full path to the authentication program.
-h Output help information and exit.
EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type:
pure-authd -s /var/run/ftpd.sock -r /usr/bin/my-auth-program &
pure-ftpd -lextauth:/var/run/ftpd.sock &
/usr/bin/my-auth-program can be as simple as :
#! /bin/sh
echo 'auth_ok:1'
echo 'uid:42'
echo 'gid:21'
echo 'dir:/home/j'
echo 'end'
