I use Amos advice: I used to get this too until I set "ServerAliveInterval" to "120" in my ssh/config.
See "man ssh_config" about this parameter. I also set the following on the server side (at least on overseas servers): TCPKeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 30 ClientAliveCountMax 4 And it works. Thanks a lot Amos and all of you Yahav Biran Alcatel-Lucent Deployment Eng.
