This is because you are running in a DOS box locally, and the remote app
is using (a remote version of) ncurses. The DOS box ain't linux. What
you want to do is set TERM=cygwin, but then you need to instruct the
remote machine in what "cygwin" means
. Download the following file:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygwin.terminfo
which is an excerpt from the ncurses-5.2-4-src.tar.gz terminfo.src. Put
cygwin.terminfo on the remote machine, and run 'tic cygwin.terminfo' on
that machine. This should create a partial terminfo database in
~/.terminfo/* on the remote machine, "teaching" it about TERM=cygwin.
