SSH garbled characters

avatar

Hello team Devolutions, my SSH connections show weird characters. Pls see screenshot.

It doesn't impact operation but it's annoying.

Thanks.

Hi,
Is it an embedded putty or the native SSH?

I think it is native. (see the screenshot).

Seems like it is an encoding issue? If yes, how do I make "utf-8" as default and apply it to all existing connections?

Hello,

Here's a Powershell script that will change the encoding of the selected sessions to UTF-8. Just select your entries in RDM, right click > Batch Edit > Batch Actions > Custom Powershell Command and use this code:

$connection.Putty.TelnetEncoding = "UTF-8"
$RDM.Save();

In the next RDM version (10.1.6.0), you will be able to choose "Default" encoding, which will take the value stored in File > Options > Types > SSH/Telnet.
The Powershell script to change the connections to "Default" so it takes the value in the options is this:

$connection.Putty.TelnetEncoding = ""
$RDM.Save();

Hello Hubert,

Your command works great. Tested and successfully applied to 27 entries.

Can't wait for 10.1.6.0!


Merci!
