[gentoo-user] remote ssh session does not reflect my keyboard inputs

[Mick]

Hi All,

I am not sure how this works:

When I ssh into a Ubuntu server certain keyboard actions (like pressing the Up 
or Left arrows) are not translated on the remote box, but give ASCII 
responses; e.g. pressing Left Arrow, gives $ ^[[D which is annoying as I have 
to delete part of the command I just typed to be able to correct it.

How can I set it up so that my Gentoo keyboard presses and behaviour is 
reflected on the remote box?  Is it a matter of copying over the .bashrc file 
from the Gentoo box?
