PuTTY: Forcibly terminate an SSH session without closing the window
- by jjlin
Is there a way to forcibly terminate an SSH session in PuTTY, short of closing the PuTTY window?
For example, in OpenSSH, I can use the ~. escape sequence to kill the connection.
This is useful when the SSH session stops responding for some reason, but I don't want to lose any of my current session-specific settings. In that case, I'd like to kill the session and then use Restart Session to reconnect.
