After I saw this earlier in the week (late last week?) I decided to give it a go. Here's what I did: in my .cshrc I added : alias ll ls -GlA I use Putty for my ssh client and added the following under Connection / Terminal-type string: xterm-color and everything works fine.... the server I'm connecting to is running 4.6-RELEASE #1, is headless with no X-Windows installed.. > Any clues?

Check capitalization of 'G' if you've aliased your ls commands, make sure when you're logged in that your term type is correct (i.e.; echo $TERM).
