ssh, after successful login, I keep getting Write failed: Connection reset by peer
It is unworkable. Ubuntu, NY 2. Am I the only one? What can I do?

Hi @protagonist
In that case, try editing a couple of files.
On the server edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (using nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config for example).
Find the line which says ClientAliveInterval and increase it to something like 600.
On the client edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (using nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config for example).
Find the line which says ServerAliveInterval and increase it to something like 600.
If those lines are not in the files already, just add them like this:
ClientAliveInterval 600
and this:
ServerAliveInterval 600
Have another answer? Share your knowledge.
Does the terminal freeze when this happens?
Does the message show instantly when you join, or does it show after a few seconds?
Hello,
The terminal does not freeze, and it does not happen instantly. Sometime, I can work normally for a few minutes, but it keeps happening. Time span can be somewhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes before the connection fails.
Thank you for reply
