Using terminal ssh to my Linux servers I have always got the following error:

 warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory

Commenting the following line from /etc/ssh_config file on my Mac was the solution for me:

#   SendEnv LANG LC_*

Note: do not forget to use sudo when editing with in terminal like:

$sudo nano /etc/ssh_config
