I remember using a command that allows you to use a program like SSH with linux command line support.
Right now the SSH prompt won't allow me to press the "up" key to view the history of commands entered to quickly enter them again. It would be convenient since we must edit and program in this setting. Isn't it something like "wrap ssh HOST" or something like that?
thanks in advanced
Whether you can use this feature depends on the command
shell on the remote system. If you ssh into a linux
system running the bash shell, it should work, unless some
feature of your local terminal blocks or interferes with some
keystrokes.
I finally learned how to do this from a classmate.
After you "ssh [ server ]" just type the command "bash" and you can use the command history as usual.
It's so simple I'm surpised no one knew this.
It seems that the remote system didn't run bash as its
default shell, but it was available, so when you typed "bash"
as a command, you invoked it and all worked as you desired.
