Change colors in SSH shell?

[XIII]

On my Mac and on my Raspberry Pi I can use $LSCOLORS/$LS_COLORS to change the colors of the output of the "ls" command (with bash/zsh).

This does not seem to work on my AC86U router (with ash).

(How) Can I change colors? (Or are they hard-coded?)

(I would like to configure the colors to be the same on all platforms, to prevent confusion)

Not configurable in the busybox applet.

Ah, that will save me from some unsuccessful attempts to change them. Thanks.

Does Entware offer a workaround for this?

Yes, it does!

Install coreutils-ls.

With improvisations it is possible

 Add /opt/bin/bash to /opt/etc/shells
(! grep -q '/opt/bin/bash' /opt/etc/shells) && echo "/opt/bin/bash" >>/opt/etc/shells
cat /opt/etc/shells

To do what? (trying to understand what problem your code solves)

I already got want I wanted (configurable colors for "ls" output) by installing that additional package and adding this alias ("borrowed" from a Raspberry Pi):

ls='ls --color=auto'
