(SOLVED) Can not SSH/SFTP to iPhone
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2011 9:57 am
The problem I was faced was that after SSH to my device I did not exit cleanly by typing "exit" in shell. After a number of connections I was then locked out. What made it worse is that Filezilla would not drop the connections after multiple transfers, which resulted in me being locked out.
Anyway it's a very simple fix.
First what we want to do is create a timeout and then set a maximum amount of ssh connections rather then its default.
Navigate to /ect/ssh and edit the file "sshd_config"
There will be two lines that are commented out.
Default
#ClientAliveInterval 0
#ClientAliveCountMax 3
Change to what you require for me it would be.
ClientAliveInterval 5
ClientAliveCountMax 10
Ok first 5 is the amount of seconds of disconnected inactivity
and 10 is the amount of max SSH connections.
Next....
Navigate to /ect/ssh and edit the file "ssh_config" and add these lines
ConnectTimeout 10
TCPKeepAlive yes
Details on ssh_config file Here
http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config
Now Reboot.
SOLVED!
As always please reply and say thanks
Enjoy
