PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

The font color of the command entered by the user is the same color as the data returned by the server. Since the colors are the same, it is difficult to distinguish the user entered commands and the data returned by the server.




RESOLUTION

The characters which were entered are actually from the server, which the server echoed.
You will need to configure the server to send colored prompt strings with code. If utilizing Bash as your shell, try the following:

export PS1="$PS1\033[34m"; trap 'printf "\e[m" > /dev/tty' DEBUG 

This will change your command prompt to blue.
