This is bec It may not be entirely clear to users whether a particular Gnome app is using GIO or gvfs-FUSE. Recent versions of OpenOffice use gvfs-FUSE when opening a file directly from an SFTP filesystem, and this may cause problems (although OpenOffice does appear to work when editing files on an sshfs filesystem). -### Non-Unicode filenames +### Unicode filenames The 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 [Unicode normalization](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence) (so for example, filenames copied from a Mac OS X filesystem will remain in NFD); this is likely to change in future.
