Dynamic character mapping allows user to have multiple character maps available at all times. When a connection is made to Pragma FortressSSH, the user is prompted to select which character map best matches the client being used.
The character maps are defined in the charmap.ini file. The character map section is defined by a heading, enclosed in brackets, and a series of source ASCII code = target ASCII code sequences, one per line. Both ASCII codes are in decimal form. Use the Show Current Character Set utility to display the characters that might need to be remapped. The heading line, including comments, will be shown as the option choice at connection. All headings will be displayed in the order they are listed in the file.
The file should be located in the same directory as the actual sshd program. A default charmap.ini file is installed with the server.
The default file contains a section for the default NT and 95/98 clients, labeled [winclient]. This section is defined based on any font other than Terminal. If the Terminal font is used, [vtxxx] character mapping should be used.
See Full Console Settings for information on setting a Default Character Map.
