WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

Hello,

When I connect to the remote server via ssh I get WARNING: terminal is not fully functional when trying to use less or some other utils.
Running export TERM=rxvt in the remote console fixes the problem, but how can I solve it permanent?

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

You could add 'export TERM=rxvt' in your remote ~/.bashrc. This will get sourced each time you login.

You can also do this from your client terminal when connecting:

TERM=xterm ssh <server>

I always keep this alias:

alias ssh="TERM=xterm ssh"

Re: WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

Seeing how this thread is well over a year old, I guess it's safe assume the op has managed to fix the issue by now.
