ConnectTimeout ConnectionTimeout ssh
How to set a time out to an SSH connection?
Simply use the option -o parameter… and read the man… but this time there is an error in some linux man:
man ssh gives at the -o paragraph the following option set:
- Compression
- CompressionLevel
- ConnectionAttempts
- ConnectionTimeout
- DynamicForward
But when you look at the ssh_config man ConnectionTimeout does not exist !!! ==> but ConnectTimeout does !? Typo? Mistake? undocumented feature?
anyway here is the good command:
ssh user@hostname -o ConnectTimeout=3
for a 3 seconds tiemout
