Backspace button not working in SSH

[sanctimon]

This has been happening for a few weeks now.

When I use either Putty or my Mac OS terminal to ssh into the F5-221 NAS, I cannot use backspace. The backspace button creates more spaces.

I was able to temporarily work around this by typing

TERM=XTERM

However, yesterday the machine crashed during an intense Nextcloud sync and turned itself off.

Since I turned it back on, the above command does not help. I cannot make the backspace key work when ssh-ing into it.

Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe you need to modify the settings of Putty.

I'll give that a try, but what about in Mac OS X terminal?
