Vagrant SSH to linux guest when using Windows 10 cmd.exe window does not completely work

[tonykarre]

Here is the scenario: Assume you have a linux guest that you are managing through Vagrant (Kali in my case). My host platform is Windows 10. Open a Windows console/command-line (cmd.exe) and start up the linux VM using "vagrant up". Then establish an SSH session on the Windows console using "vagrant ssh".

When you use imcat to view an image in the ssh session, the Windows console window does not interpret the data as desired, and the image doesn't work. Here is a screenshot:

If you view the same image in the Kali GUI, from a normal terminal window, it works fine as seen here:

As seen in the Vagrant ssh session, here is the $TERM:

root@kali:/opt/imcat# echo $TERM cygwin root@kali:/opt/imcat#
