Backspace doesn't work from a Linux box SSHing into Windows (strange world we live in), but otherwise it's great.

See https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/57.

For some reason putty works but iTerm has the backspace issue. Putty user: what's your $TERM?

Ctrl H works as a workaround BTW.

$TERM from PuTTY - xterm $TERM from Terminal.app - xterm-256color
It may just be the settings in your SSH client (some of them are weird). Which SSH client are you using and have you tried any others?
What about ^H?
Works as backspace. DEL is working, but not updating the screen if that makes sense.
