 I've noticed recently (after upgrading to the latest version and also in
 3.4.2 - I had been using an old old one 3.1 I think...), that if I leave
 an SFTP window open for a period of time (I would guess about an hour),
 and then I try to perform any action, Cyberduck will show the "spinner" at
 the bottom of the window, but nothing happens. Not even a time out.

 I have the following in my `~/.ssh/config` file - which used to be enough
 to stop this problem:

 {{{
 ServerAliveInterval 120
 ServerAliveCountMax 10
 TCPKeepAlive yes
 }}}

 Do newer version of CyberDuck ignore what is present in this file? I've
 tried version combinations of the commands in the file, and also have a
 file named ~/.ssh/ssh_config (which some sites suggest it should be), but
 to no avail.

Comment (by dkocher):

 The timeout settings are not read from `.ssh/config` but can be set in the
 ''Connection'' Preferences. However, there must be an issue with stalled
 SSH connections as noted previously in #3941 and #4214.
