Wow, cool. Even without having to change anything, I can log in now and I'm
one step further. Unfortunately it doesn't display the directory contents when
logged in. Looks possibly like a charset/locale issue. Could it have something
to do with my linux distribution now using de_DE.utf8 as a locale and doing
all sorts of stuff in utf8 natively?

Here's the log:

After "Protokollversion 3" it says it connected successfully :)

But then the remote file list remains empty (in a login done by a bookmark pointing
to a different remote dir on the same server, it said Filenames (20 entries)
and then stopped without displaying anything). Even when I navigate in the
directories (i can always only go to the parent directory), the display stays
empty.

(In the pre-last line, there's actually a capitalized !Y and then a very weird
char. The !X( is there, however.)

Any idea what this is and where I should try to tackle it? Or what kind of
information I should provide additionally? (I'm no programmer, so I'm not sure
how helpful I really am.)

Thanks a lot for your looking after my problem already now.

Andreas
