**Problem**

Following [this post](https://serverfault.com/questions/59140/how-do-diff-over-ssh) I tried to use `diff` over `ssh` using bash process substitution

```
 diff foo <(ssh myServer 'cat foo')

```

When I enter the following command

```
diff /Volumes/MyBook/Remi/SimulationsOutputs/Hermes/C_no_F/C_no_F_allele_005.txt  <(ssh matthey@bugaboo.westgrid.ca 'cat /home/matthey/scratch/Plasticity/outputs/C_no_F/C_no_F_allele_005.txt')

```

, I am asked to enter my password (as expected) by the following prompt

```
matthey@bugaboo.westgrid.ca's password:

```

But whatever I write is displayed on the following line! If I press enter, then nothing happens.

**Extra-info**

`diff` seems to work fine when comparing local files

`ssh` seems to work fine

After double checking 25 times, I can say that the files exist and that I know the password!

I am on Mac OSX 10.11.2
