Description

Property type

A String value.  Determines terminal type reported to the server.


Syntax

object.TerminalType [= value]



The TerminalType Property syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An expression evaluating to an object of type wodSSH.
value A String value.

Remarks

Telnet and SSH protocol specifications define that clients should identify the emulation that will be used with the connection. Most commonly, if a client is able to handle cursor-movements and similar console actions it should implement 'vt100' emulation. Almost all servers support vt100, so this is used as the default value.

Note that in wodSSH, the terminal type does not really have any affect on the local side - because there is no GUI. However, changing it from 'vt100' to something else may cause the server to send different data. For example, you can stop it from sending ANSI escape sequences since you don't really need them.
