Most of the time my Backspace works as Delete but sometime it doesn't.
For example when I use ftp it doesn't work as delete. Is there easy
way to correct this.

yes, you can remap this with the "stty" command.
To make backspace work you can do:
    stty erase  

(to make the   do not type a carrot and then H "^H"
 instead you want to do <control-v><backspace> which will give you the
  . The same can be done for delete ( ) to make it your erase char.)

DEL: delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line

then source the file ie  (source .inputrc)  or ( . .inputrc) or reboot.

You will now find the Backspace - Home and End keys work as you expect
they should.

checkout old issues of the Linux Gazette (www.ssc.com/lg/) for
information on makinmg your own custom.map (keyboard) setup.
