PuTTY Fatal Error – Server sent disconnect message

Hello King Lopezs,

Thanks for sharing your problem with us, you can keep your SSH session alive by sending NULL packets to the server after some interval. This may be risky options at some time if you moved away from your system by leaving the SSH session open. The intruder may access your system and issue shutdown to your server with your credentials. To keep your SSH session alive just follow the following steps:

1. Launch the putty software.

2. Locate session option and click on it. Type your ESX server IP or Host name in the Hostname(IP) textbox.

3. Now click on connection option and set the value for the seconds between keepalives.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks.
