A while back there was an update (10.15.5 I think). After that my ssh
has been broken. Now when I try to open an ssh connection I get
"client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe". the odd part is that it is
not all the time. It happens about 75% of the time, but usually if I am
able to connect I will get disconnected within a few minutes. I'm wonder
if it has anything to do with the relocated files and the ssh_config.
Yes it broke after updating. The Terminal app built into the Mac OS seems to be broken after the Catalina update. When I try to make an ssh connection I get "client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe". I installed the Termius app from the app store. It works perfectly fine. It seems the issue is with the Terminal app itself. The problem for me is most of my other apps that have SSH integration, only integrate with the build in terminal so they are all broken.
Hello kickbxrr,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with SSH.
It sounds like you have issues connecting with another device. Please ensure everything is set up as described in these three help articles:
Allow a remote computer to access your Mac - Apple Support
Use ssh and scp instead of telnet and ftp in Terminal - Apple Support
Configure macOS for smart card-only authentication - Apple Support
Thanks and have a wonderful day.
This does not seems to have anything to do with an issue connecting to another devices. I am connecting to the same ssh server in from the same laptop at the same time with each of the terminal clients. Termius works, Terminal does not.
SSH from Terminal:
SSH from Termius:
Create a new local user account on your Mac and try it from there. If that works, then the problem is in your ssh config on the client. If that doesn't work, then the problem is in your ssh config on the server.
SSH broken after update.
