Answer by dessert for Install software that uses a different shell

You can just start a bash shell in the ssh shell (whatever the default shell for ssh may be), or start it directly when sshing with:

ssh -tX USER@SERVER "bash -l"

This last approach however may not pick up your tcsh environment, if you want it to do that use the following command instead:

ssh -tX USER@SERVER "tcsh -cl bash"
