Unicode characters in folder/file names

[bewbs]

I'm not able to pass a file/folder with unicode characters in the name to MacGuffin. :sadface:

user@host:~/rtorrent/download$ upload [Valid folder containing the character: ó]

your issue is due to your badly setup env, aka your locale is not set correctly.
once you fix that (something that supports utf-8), you will be fine.

do locale from command line.. you will see its probably set to C or ascii.. hence the problem.
do locale -a to see what your options are on the box... then set it to the correct one via your shell/config.. something like en_US.utf-8
