If you turn your computer off or put it to sleep without disconnecting, the server side will not receive a response from those messages. This means that you can leave an SSH connection open in the background and it can stay connected all day.
Server side connections via SSH essentially have an ecrypted channel in the background that the server uses to contact the client and ask "hey are you still there?", the SSH window on your computer will then reply and confirm it is. SSH connections are made up by the client side (your computer) and the server side and both sides have different ways of detecting idle connections. How it worksīefore we dive into how to set this up, it's worth understanding first how it all works. As a result you may find yourself still logged in to your server sometime later when you're closing all those StackOverflow tabs! Like most software, SSH comes with a session timeout ability built in, keep on reading and we'll show you how to get it configured.
Logging out of your server is not something you may automatically think of doing, especially if you're in the middle of doing something else.
