If you use ssh a lot, you may have noticed that your ssh session times out and you’re logged out every once in a while.

For example while you were using SecureCRT, you got:

The solution is to send a protocol NO-OP every few seconds to keep the connection alive.
Usually SSH clients have this feature disabled and you can enable it.
SecureCRT has this feature on:
Right click on host -> Properties
or
Right click on the host tab -> Session Options
navigate to Terminal -> Anti-idle -> check/enable "Send protocol NO-OP", usually i use 20 seconds.

I just recently transfered a cPanel account from one server to another using WHM "Copy an account from another server" feature, and i got this error message:

This usually happens while you are transfering a very big account and the SSH session time out while it's verifying the MD5 hash or compressing the directories.

The solution is simply to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and add

on the client side,the machine you want to transfer the account into.

Or you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add:

on the server side, the machine you want to transfer the account from.
Don’t forget to restart sshd on the server after you save the file.
