I put "exit" in my .bashrc file. I don't have physical access to the machine so to connect to it I use ssh. I don't have root privileges. Every time I connect to the server, the connection automatically closes.

So far, I've tried:

  • Overwriting .bashrc with scp and sftp. The connection closes before I can do anything.
  • Using a few different GUI programs to access ssh (connection closes)
  • Overwriting the file with ftp. (can't use ftp)
  • From my home computer
    • $ ssh host "bash --noprofile --norc" (connection closes)
    • $ ssh host "mv .bashrc bashrc_temp" (connection closes)
    • $ ssh host "rm .bashrc" (same thing)
    • $ ssh host -t (connection closes)

Is there anything I can do to disable .bashrc or maybe overwrite the file before .bashrc is sourced?
