Hi All,
I noticed of late my ssh & sftp connections have been timing out very
quickly. If I leave my machine (or do not use the ssh connection) for
even 10 minutes the connection will timeout and I will have to close the
window and re-connect.

I am unsure whether the problem exists with my local machine or my university's servers (the machines to which I am remotely logging onto). ...

Was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on this or provide some sort of explanation?

Not an explanation, but maybe a workaround. How about setting the keepalive interval?

	ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=120 my.ssh.host

will send keepalive signals every 120 seconds if the connection is idle. You can also include the option in ~/.ssh/config.


Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers,
Tony Crouch
