I occasionally need to connect to a Linux server via ssh. Since I use an ssh client which has a dark background, the default colors used by the ls command frequently makes directory listings difficult to read. Fortunately you can solve this one of two ways.
For a solution which will persist throughout the ssh session, you can issue the "unalias ls" command. That removes the alias which causes the odd coloration. It will reappear the next time you log into that server.
For a non-persistent solution you can preface the ls command with a backslash. Using "\ls" prevents any command alias from being used.
