Using ssh over a cruddy connection like a Starbucks WiFi that keeps dropping you, you probably want to use screen to keep your session running on your host when your connection goes down. That's all fine and well, but make sure you also add the "-t" option to ssh when you connect like this:
ssh -t [email protected]
screen -dr
