Thanks... anyone know a good SSH client?
Thanks to everyone for their FTP client suggestions. I'm probably going with cute-ftp. I didn't know that they had a mac version, or I would have downloaded that right away. The biggest deciding factor was that it remembers the last 5 or so directories you have been in, which means that I can move more quickly between directories I am working in.
Once again today I spent hours beating my head against the corner of my desk trying to get done what I wanted to... but this time I wont put any blame on the Mac, in fact, it's the reason I got the Mac instead of a PC in the first place. A week ago I set up my local computer to host versions of all the websites I work on so that I can develop locally in the same environment as the live server. I was happy to have it, until I found that I couldn't see my local sites when I was off-line.
I had my localhost.zone file set up to point to each of my development sites at site1.localhost, site2.localhost, etc... Worked fine when I was online, but I was pulling my hair out today until I stumbled across this article about NetInfo Manager. Now I'm feeling pretty good having just overcome this hurdle to enjoying my Mac.
There are a lot more little "how do I do"s that I am very tempted to just post here after the help I got on BBEdit and the FTP client, but I don't want to wear out any welcome, so I'll save my questions for the real stumpers.
Well... maybe just one more... Does anyone know where I can get an ssh client for mac that displays in Japanese? Today I had to work on a client's server in Japanese. On Windows I used PuttyJp, which was able to display Japanese, but after an hour of searching for a mac client (the mac terminal's shell didn't work for me in Japanese) I wound up switching back to Windows. Or, if anyone knows how to make my iBook's ssh display Japanese, that would suffice.

I don't know if this will work or not, but have you tried setting your mac's OS to Japanese in the International Pane in System Preferences? Good luck with the mac!

I'm not sure if it works,but In the window settings there is setting where you can change the character set encode. Did you try it?

There is GUI ssh/scp client called fugu. Don't know about the Japanese though - despite the name.
macupdate.com is really your friend.

Thanks again for the tips.
Unfortunatly I do have the system in Japanese (using the Japanese keyboard) and the encoding was set to Japanese as well, but that just made it so I could type Japanese into the command line. (not much use for that). The Japanese messages returned by the host machine were still moji-bake.
Dirk,
I looked at Fugu, but it only provides ftp, sftp, and ssh tunneling. It doesn't give me a terminal that can view Japanese from the shell. :( I'll keep looking, or, since I have only needed the Japanese shell about three times in three years, I'll just forget it.

I can get Japanese text with mysql to display properly in the Terminal just by changing the Window Settings... Character Set Encoding. Perhaps you want EUC encoding?
You could also try this:
I've tried it but don't have any real experience with it.

Hi Kevin,
I believe that it is simple as setting the encoding in the terminal that I recommended to you a long time ago: iterm. Just click configure, and select the encoding and away you go! good luck.
