Sometimes it works, sometimes not, it seems to depend on the type of login! The local user (Cygwin) seems to work, the root user on the freebsd server seems also to work, but another user on the freebsd server does not work : if I hit the "backward stroke" it prints a triangle (meaning I suppose unknown character) and there is no way to correct this but to send the wrong command and retype the whole command. With long commands it can be very frustrating. For 2) I have found the trick to redirect the output of the command to a file and then I read the file with an editor, and I can copy and paste it. But it works only for the output of the command, and not for the command itself. I guess the solution is fairly easy. This the newbie condition ;-) :) Gabier -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Copy%2C-paste-and-deleting-characters-in-the-openssh-screen.-tp32811323p32811323.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
