Fetch kept asking me my paraphrase (3 posts)

  Hi,

  I'm new to Mac/Fetch which is recommended by my organization.
  For some reason, the connection to the server I'm using via VPN is not very stable.
  I also used the terminal to SSH to the same server; that terminal session never dropped connection when Fetch at least asked me 5 times to type in my paraphrase; each time I was able to connect to the server, but only for no more than 10 mins.
  How can I troubleshoot this problem? Is there an automatic re-login functionality?
  Thanks very much in advance!

  Hi,

  I would try checking "Keep connections alive" in the General section of Preferences.

  If you are using an SSH public key I would look into adding the key to ssh-agent; that way you wouldn't have to type the passphrase multiple times.

  Thanks,
