Unix/Linux/MacOS
The default SSH client for most Unix-like operating systems is OpenSSH. Versions of OpenSSH greater than 3.8 support the setting ServerAliveInterval. This can be configured globally or for individual hosts.
- Edit your personal SSH configuration file (usually $HOME/.ssh/config) and add or modify the relevant line(s).
- If you are running a version of OpenSSH older than 3.8, you should upgrade to a more recent version.
