Here is an example that you could put in your .bashrc:
# Is this an ssh connection?
if [[ ! -z ${SSH_TTY} ]]; then
# Set prompt to \green([EMAIL PROTECTED]) \blue($PWD \$) green(..
PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\w \$ \[\033[01;32m\]'
# Not an ssh connection
else
# Set prompt to \green([EMAIL PROTECTED]) \blue($PWD \$) black(..
PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\w \$ \[\033[00m\]'
fi
If you want other colors or whatever refer to man console_codes.
