That's not a ssh problem, it's the terminal type and/or font you are using. > When running Midnight Commander locally (via cygwin) such lines appear > properly. > > So i figure that it has to do something with the way cygwin emulates the > terminal of the remote machine. > > Unfortunately, this is as far as i can go.

Do "echo $TERM" and if the result is somethig like "cygwin" then I think that is the problem because there is a good chance that the remote system doesn't know that type of terminal. Solution: set (in the remote computer) TERM to ansi or xterm if you are using rxvt. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
