Problem with Columns and Lines

Olive · Post by **Olive** » Thu 24 Sep 2009 22:28

Hello,

I am a new user of the secureBridge components and I really love them, they are really easy to use and fast!

I found a little problem in the latest versions (2.50.0.9 and 2.60.0.11): when using the TScSSHShell component in order to build a terminal application (like PuTTY), the COLUMNS variable is defined to "25" and the LINES to "80". It should be the contrary for vt100 terminals (or even better, it could be a new property of the component).

The problem is confirmed in the new SSH Client demo: when I connect to a remote server with a "bash" shell, I obtain the following output:

Last login: Fri Sep 25 00:20:21 2009 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
OpenSSH Server 5.1-p1
$ echo "$COLUMNS"
25
$ echo "$LINES"
80

Is it possible to fix this issue? Thank you in advance!

We have investigated this problem. We will add the possibility to set the terminal information for TScSSHShell in the next SecureBridge build.
