| Sep 24 at 9:40 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | @terdon in newer versions of the openssh client, commandline is disabled by default. You'd need to reenable it in your ~/.ssh/config (look for EnableEscapeCommandline in man 5 ssh_config) | |
| Sep 24 at 8:53 | comment | added | terdon♦ | @StéphaneChazelas in what context does this happen? ~C in an ssh session (local Arch, remote Ubuntu Server) running in xterm or terminator just prints commandline disabled\n, after which I can still type, and enter causes what I typed to be executed. | |
| Sep 24 at 4:26 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | ^C from the ssh console doesn't break the connection for me on Ubuntu. Only exits the ssh console. What OS are you using and which implementation and version of the ssh client? How do you start it? | |
| Sep 24 at 4:21 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | Even if backspace doesn't work, you should be able to use ^U to erase the line or ^W to erase a word (and possibly Del or Ctrl-? would delete the previous character if there's a mismatch between stty settings and what your backspace key sends) | |
| Sep 24 at 4:19 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | @tink, pressing ~C (following Enter) is how you enter ssh's console. | |
| Sep 24 at 4:18 | comment | added | Stéphane Chazelas | What's the output of stty -a (inside and outside ssh session) and in particular the erase setting? Terminals sending ^H instead of ^? upon Backspace is unusual there days. Which are you using? | |
| Sep 24 at 1:09 | comment | added | tink | I don't understand what you mean by opening an SSH console on an already established connection - can you please explain? | |
