Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)

Tags:	Manage Connections, ssh

Description:
We have accent characters in our language: áéíóöőúüű
My name is also contains an 'é' in 'Péter'. I use this name as a user in Windows. I have put the SSH Key File to my Desktop. The absolute URL to my Desktop is the following because of my username: 'C:\Users\Péter\Desktop\fupdmy_for_workbench'
'fupdmy_for_workbench' file is my private key file. If I move it to 'D:\fupdmy_for_workbench' I can connect, but In the previous path I got an error like this in Show Log File option:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\P\xc3\xa9ter\\Desktop\\fupdmy_for_workbench'
15:06:28 [ERR][     SSH tunnel]: Authentication error opening SSH tunnel: Authentication error, unhandled exception caught in tunnel manager, please refer to logs for details

How to repeat:
1. Create a folder on Windows which contains an accent character.
2. Create a Remote Connection in MySQL Workbench through SSH.
3. Create a private key file for your SSH connection and place it in that 'accent' folder.
4. Browse the previous private key file in that 'accent' folder.
5. Try to connect.

Suggested fix:
UTF-8 character handling?

Thank you for the bug report.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.1.3 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Connection in MySQL Workbench through SSH" could not be saved to a folder
with accented characters.
