Public Key in a folder with non-ANSI characters.

[André Oliveira]

I've got a public key file (ppk)in a folder which has my name on it, namely:
C:\Users\André\PPKs\AmazonEC2.ppk

This doesn't work.
The same directory and file works for putty.

I copied the very file to C:\, meaning:
C:\AmazonEC2.ppk

It worked fine.

It seems like Filezilla doesn't like non-ANSI characters in folder paths for public keys. At least on Windows.

"Does not work" makes no sense here. Do you mean upload, download or what? Storing a file on your Windows computer is unrelated to FileZilla.

In case you actually want to transfer the file and this does not work, please provide logs. Thank you.

[André Oliveira]

What I mean by "Does not work" is that connection doesn't establish, seeing that's what the keys in SSH are for.

Does the message log show something? Can you please provide that with debug level 3?
