    screen via ssh

    Does Dathorn allow use of screen via ssh? When I try to run screen after sshing, I get the error "Cannot access '/dev/pts/0': No such file or directory".

    Anyone had better luck with this?

    If I need this kind of functionality, I just open several console prompts. But I seldom need that, usually while moving websites over here. How does screen help comparing with the multiple ssh logins or it's just a matter of taste?

      the biggest advantage is that screen prevents your ssh connection from being dropped suddenly. If a connection closes, the 'session' detaches and I can ssh in and reattach it again. Could prevent nasty issues like corrupted files and such.

        Due to limitations of the jailed shell screen is not something that you can use. Sorry.
