Your application must be IDN-compliant to use IDNs with remote access services such as FTP, Telnet, or SSH to connect to a domain. Additionally, you must configure the services to use the character set UTF-8 to enable correct interpretation of IDN domain names.
Important: If your application is not IDN- compliant, you must use the ASCII-encoded representation of the domain name to access the domain. To view the ASCII- encoded representation, refer to your account details provided in the email sent by your administrator.
To connect to an IP-based domain using a non-IDN compliant client (such as Telnet/SSH/FTP on Linux):
#ssh <ascii_encoded_domain>
For example, to connect to the domain fargbolaget.nu
using its ASCII- encoded representation xn-- frgbolaget-q5a.nu
, type:
#ssh xn--frgbolaget-q5a.nu
To connect to a name-based domain using a non-IDN compliant client (such as Telnet/SSH/FTP on Linux):
#ssh <ascii_encoded_domain>
For example, to connect to the domain fargbolaget.nu
using its ASCII- encoded representation xn-- frgbolaget-q5a.nu
, type:
#ssh xn--frgbolaget-q5a.nu
