Running long jenkins jobs ssh times out

[Pradeep Patra]

Hi all,

    I am new to Jenkins. I have to copy a big file through ssh to the node from Jenkins master (no Jenkins slaves setup as yet) and move the files  to a temp directory. The problem is the ssh times out and my testcase fails. Is there a way to overcome this issue ? I was planning to use different Jenkins Slave to run the long running tests but that will also suffer the same problem.

Any Clue or Suggestions Please?

Regards
