Assuming your shell is bash, read the INVOCATION section of bash(1),
remembering that the shell you get for remote command execution (an SSH
exec channel) is non-interactive in the terminology of that man page.

You don't say what SSH software you're using. If the server is OpenSSH,
then see ssh(1) regarding PermitUserEnvironment and ~/.ssh/environment.
