Using rlwrap with an ssh session

I am using SSH to login to an ubuntu server. However, I am not able to use commands such as tab auto-complete, or using arrow keys to view previous history. I have installed rlwrap on the remote machine and on my local directory. I was wondering if there was any way to use rlwrap to allow me to use these shortcuts on the server (or something else). The server is running Ubuntu Server edition 10.0.4.

Solution

  • Check your shell on the remote server, change it to /bin/bash if it is not

    
    chsh /bin/bash
