@ -59,6 +59,18 @@ If you are behind a proxy (like Balabit) that prevents this, you must redirect t
connect to a server, embedded or Android system that doesn't have ``tic``, copy over
your local file terminfo to the other system as :file:`~/.terminfo/x/xterm-kitty`.
If the server is running FreeBSD, or another system that relies on termcap
rather than terminfo, you will need to convert the terminfo file on your local
machine by running (on local machine with |kitty|)::
infocmp -C xterm-kitty
The output of this command is the termcap description, which should be appended
to |/usr/share/misc/termcap| on the remote server. Then run the following
command to apply your change (on the server)::
cap_mkdb /usr/share/misc/termcap
Really, the correct solution for this is to convince the OpenSSH maintainers to
have ssh do this automatically, if possible, when connecting to a server, so that
all terminals work transparently.
