Property TerminalType As String

Remarks

Depending on (improper) selection of TerminalType property, you might get unexpected results when you communicate with the server. For example, on most systems default terminal is VT100, which supports ANSI sequences. Since most of the clients that will be made using wodSSH.NET doesn't 'talk' ANSI, you will have problems displaying data on the screen, because it would contain ANSI sequences for positioning of data on the screen. For this purpose, it is advised to use some terminal type that doesn't support ANSI, and works more like 'teleprinter'. One of the choices would be 'tty', 'std' or 'dumb' if UNIX server supports them.

You can also try leaving this field empty, in which case replies will (most probably) not contain ANSI sequences. What will you put here depends mostly on the server you're connecting to.
