[NBP web-reskin] WinSCP Connection is dropping

[Steve DiDomenico]

Hi Ethan,

 

I changed from a wired to a wired / wireless router.  The connection I'm
using is wired.

 

I'll check for the setting you mentioned.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

When using WinSCP I seem to be losing my connection to the server every now

anyone noticed anything like this?  I did make a network change on my end
with a new router on Christmas day.


Steve,

Is the new router a wireless router?

I've had issues with SSH and other stateful, session-based protocols staying
open over my wireless.  With standard SSH (that is, as it is on Unix-like
OSes), I've found that the ServerAliveInterval option makes the difference.
SSH is typically configured to send TCP keep-alive packets by default, but
over the wireless that doesn't do the job (for reasons I've never
determined).  ServerAliveInterval -- at least on Linux -- causes actual SSH
traffic to be used for keepalive purposes, rather than plain TCP.

If WinSCP gives you the same ServerAliveInterval setting, try setting it to
10 seconds, and see if that makes the difference.

Hope this helps.
- Ethan
