Have you SSHed into your IBM i and tried to edit a file with vi only to be greeted with this?

Solution

To fix this, simply define your terminal to the proper value, usually just xterm.

export TERM=xterm

You can set it in your dotfiles (.bashrc for example), like I do in my dotfiles.

Vi should work just fine now!
