Type bksp then hit the backspace key directly after hitting that key hit enter. this should solve the problem.

Use a proper SSH client like "ssh" or "PuTTY" and keep an eye on the TERM (inal) used by them. Conflicting settings on the shell and the client will of course cause key missinterprations. For me, Control+? is the appropiate setting for backspace, standard for Home/End and you might be recommned to use UTF-8 translation.
