ssh terminal session times out, how can this be changed [duplicate]
Solution 1:
On the server, login as root and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and add the line:
ClientAliveInterval 60
man sshd_config:
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
You'll need to restart the sshd
for it to come into effect.
Alternatively on the client edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config
(if you have root and want it for all users) or ~/.ssh/config
and add the line:
ServerAliveInterval 60
