I have a server with no X, installed with no locales. There is a "C" locale.

I need to:

run server scripts (no console involved) to copy, move and gzip files towards local ext4 file-system, which should contain files with special encoding (Czech, Korean, Russian etc.), so the UTF-8 should be enabled.

have possibility to type most of the file-names with special letters, when logged trough ssh.

What should I do to reach that state? Goal is to give complete guide to change locale systemwide (as default).

I have to investigate it deeper and this solution helps me to solve it:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

choose cs_CZ.UTF-8 UTF-8 (default) and/or en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

apt-get install console-data

dpkg-reconfigure console-data

set pc / qwerty / Czech / Standard / Standard or any other on your choice

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

set Encoding to use on the console: UTF-8
set Charecter set: Latin2 - central Europe and Romanian, Fixed, 16 or any other on your coice

in file /etc/default/locale set

LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8

LANGUAGE=cs_CZ.UTF-8

LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8

I dont know which steps are necessary, but after this all fonts and especially all ftp transfers and all tar-gzip actions work well.
