    5757The SFTP frontend encodes all filenames as UTF-8 when communicating with the client. Support for displaying and copying non-ASCII filenames is likely to vary between clients. If you are using a filesystem that represents names as UTF-8 (including via sshfs), then it should just work, but please report your experience with this. Note that SFTP currently does not perform any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence Unicode normalization] (so for example, filenames copied from a Mac OS X filesystem will remain in NFD); this is likely to change in future.
