I connect to the FreeBSD machine via SSH, and use secure file transfer to upload/download from the machine. In the last week, the FreeBSD machine has dropped my connection on 3 seperate occasions. I'll queue up some work and leave the machine unattended, only to return at a later time and find that the connection has been closed. No one else has physical access to the area when this occurs; can anyone tell me what's going on or what I need to do in order to keep from being disconnected in the future? Unfortunately the file transfer client portion of SSH Secure Shell is very poor at resuming queued work, so this is starting to cause me an inconvinience. -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra
