    What's the output of stty -a (inside and outside ssh session) and in particular the erase setting? Terminals sending ^H instead of ^? upon Backspace is unusual there days. Which are you using? Commented Sep 24 at 4:18

    ^C from the ssh console doesn't break the connection for me on Ubuntu. Only exits the ssh console. What OS are you using and which implementation and version of the ssh client? How do you start it? Commented Sep 24 at 4:26

    @terdon in newer versions of the openssh client, commandline is disabled by default. You'd need to reenable it in your ~/.ssh/config (look for EnableEscapeCommandline in man 5 ssh_config) Commented Sep 24 at 9:40
