I am sshing to an Amazon instance and what I found out the display update is sloppy, sometimes the display refresh instantly but sometimes screen only updates half, eg, doing a ls command will only list half of the content and hangs until enter key is pressed, then it will display some more.

I am using Mac terminal if that helps to resolve this problem.

  • My initial suspicion is that it's client-related. Have you tried using any other `ssh` client (from the same client to the same server), to see if the problem persists? – MadHatter Nov 05 '13 at 07:37
  • Same problem connecting to an Ubuntu server from a Mac and Linux host, so not client related. Persists after restarting the server. Possibly related to network quality on one or both ends of the connection? – SabreWolfy Jul 16 '15 at 12:03
  • I have the same problem but only at the office... so link related :( have your found a solution? – Mike Gleason jr Couturier Sep 15 '16 at 09:29

You may try using mosh if you have connection issues

I saw also that kind of behavior after running commands with crappy output. I usually just type $ reset to have my bash back.

If you're using ssh in a mac terminal I doubt it's client-related issue. but to be sure I suggest you using screen or tmux on the server so you can dettach the session and reattach it on another client and compare outputs.
