When I tried to use excellent terminal emulator Terminator to edit a file with Vim on remote server, I got strange errors.
Vim wouldn’t use syntax highlighting, had other glitches and output warning message at start-up:


E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo
'terminator' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
    builtin_riscos
    builtin_amiga
    builtin_beos-ansi
    builtin_ansi
    builtin_pcansi
    builtin_win32
    builtin_vt320
    builtin_vt52
    builtin_xterm
    builtin_iris-ansi
    builtin_debug
    builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'

After googling a bit I found a solution in the FAQ of Terminator.

To cut a long story short, here’s how to fix it (just copy your .terminfo to remote machine):


scp -r ~/.terminfo remote_username@remote_hostname:~/

After doing that, all the problems should be gone.
