How not to pass the locale through an ssh connection command

Question

I have some aliases for ssh, example: ``` alias buildWork="ssh work '~/build_app'" ``` The problem is that the `ssh` command passes some variables like `$LC_CTYPE` that causes some errors. How to prevent that and use the server configurations ?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your SSH client is configured to forward the locale settings. You can prevent this by altering your configuration (the global file is typically `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`):

```
# comment out / remove the following line
SendEnv LANG LC_*
```

Alternatively you can change the configuration of the server, by editing `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` on the remote machine (note the d in `sshd_config`):

```
# comment out / remove the following line
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
```
