This is a duplicate of 2513999, but the other one was closed.

It would be great to use another method besides send an ascii character to keep the sessions alive. As another commenter mentioned SecureCRT handles this, and in my experience PuTTy handles this very well too. It looks like putty sends "null packets". I've attached a screen shot of the putty config window.

This is a great app and could be perfect with a few enhancements.

Thanks!

    Hi dubhunter,
    iTerm doesn't implement its own ssh client so we can't do it, but if you're using ssh you can just follow these steps to get the result you want:

    create a file:
    $HOME/.ssh/config
    and put:

    ServerAliveInterval 60

    in it.

    You may need to also run:
    chmod g-w $HOME/.ssh/config

    iTerm is no longer supported. For future requests, please direct them to iTerm2 at http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/
