Are broken SSH pipes harmful? - Ask Ubuntu
if leaving computer indeterminate amount of time should exit ssh session beforehand?
i see "broken pipe" when leave open , have ssh in again. doesn't bother me curious whether potentially have harmful effects on if happens lot, or if doesn't matter?
ssh
connects client , server on tcp socket, , sockets can thought of 2 way pipe. whatever send on 1 end, available on other, , vice versa.
broken pipe
generic socket error message means socket has been teared down i.e. communication pipe broken. not strictly related ssh
protocol socket , how connections can teared down.
it's not harmful per se, ongoing transfer lost, depending on value of transfer can measure harmfulness case.
