screen -r and screen -list only show last screen

  • 772

My problem is pretty much as the title describes it. I am running ssh session and on my server I screen for multitasking. My issue here is that I have at least 4 screens open and detached, but screen -r connects only the the last screen I have visited. screen -list also only lists the last screen, as if there is only one screen open. However, once I am in one of the screens, I can freely switch between them with Ctrl+A and N and all of them are there. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

    screen -ls shows the sessions, and there are windows (also called "screens") inside the session that can be scrolled by CTRL-A N or listed by CTRL-A w or CRTL-A "
