How to change SSH colors?
I've been living with this for awhile, but finally got around to doing some testing on it to verify it's not just my color choice here. When using SSH shell sessions. The color selection seems to be hardcoded somewhere in RDM. I've attempted changing the colors in Preferences > Session Type > SSH Shell > ANSI Colors but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Below is a screenshot. Below the green ssh_tmux line is the RDM SSH session. Above the line is an SSH session I opened from my terminal (gnome terminal). As you can see, directories are really difficult to read (I can only read them if I highlight them with my mouse or if I turn my monitors brightness way up).
How can I change these so they show up nicely in RDM?

Indeed, the color settings are there for compatibility with other version of RDM but are not actually used by our implementation.
I'll transfer this feature request to our SSH engineer.

Hi.
A quick and dirty solution could be the command:
export LS_COLORS="$LS_COLORS:di=1;34"
Has it any effect in your case?
It might not have any effects as RDM's SSH control is a custom view and not an embedded terminal.
Unless the control checks for $LS_COLORS, it will probably not help in this case.

This is correct. There's no way to change the colors and any attempt at changing it through normal bash ways doesn't work.
This is fixed in 2021.1.0.10!
