centos sftp delete key say wave

1

I'm working on CentOS.

I frequently use sftp for transfer files.

But after I connect to sftp 'delete' key does not work.

When I press 'Delete' only '~' typed.

On the ssh command delete key works but only in sftp does not work and print '~'.

How du I have to figure out this..?(I want to use delete key)

I believe that's a normal behaviour.

OpenSSH sftp does not implement full line editing capabilities.

Not sure. In my Debian I have sftp from openssh-client package (version 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u6). I can edit lines, delete does work. Tested by connecting from Windows to my Debian via PuTTY with local line editing forced off, keypad sequences setting: "Linux"; then connecting with sftp to yet another host. The sequence "Ctrl+v delete" prints ^[[3~. (Note: after I change "Linux" to "VT400", delete prints ~ in sftp (it's actually ^[[4~) but it stops working as delete in the shell). Can sftp in Debian be so much modified? Or did I test it wrong? Or is your belief wrong? – Kamil Maciorowski – 2019-09-05T11:56:54.817

I do not know. Anyway, even with your non-default settings, it does not work for me (even though the Delete works in the shell). – Martin Prikryl – 2019-09-05T12:02:40.757
