Some more info on this:

sshfs knows the options

       -o from_code=CHARSET
              original encoding of file names (default: UTF-8)

       -o to_code=CHARSET
              new encoding of the file names (default: ISO-8859-2)

And these can be set in X2GoClient as well ("shared folders" tab in the
session configuration, checkbox "Filename encoding").

Maybe you could try to enforce UTF-8 on both sides, "from" and "to", and
see if that makes a difference.

Also, check the output of

export

on the server for any LANG and LC_ settings - maybe you aren't using
UTF-8 on the server, only on the thinclient, and that's causing the mess?

Kind Regards,
