How can I keep SSH connection alive?

  • 772

I use Ubuntu 14.04 on my server and I've added these lines into /etc/ssh/ssh_config: (as it's mentioned here)

ServerAliveInterval 300
ServerAliveCountMax 2
ClientAliveInterval 300
ClientAliveCountMax 2

Now my server is broken :(. I cannot connect to it through neither regular SSH connection nor tunneling:

Regular SSH Connection:

Tunneling To MySQL For Accessing Databases On The Server

I really have valuable data into server's databases without any backup. Any idea?

  1. using mosh your connection is always alive. Mosh takes all the security benefits of SSH and builds upon it a greater tolerance to poor network conditions and roaming connections. It also increases responsiveness and lowers bandwidth usage by only communicating state changes to the currently visible screen region, rather than transmitting complete buffers.
