I have strange issue on my Windows 10.
I use Putty and WinSCP - on both clients the connection is closing after X amount of minutes of inactivity.
Is there a way of getting rid of this timeout?

The connection may be terminated by the server for inactivity, rather than by the program.
PuTTY keep connections alive
- Load your connection session.
- In the Category pane, click Connection.
- Under "Sending of null packets to keep session active", in the "Seconds between keepalives", type 240 for 4 minutes (or less). PuTTY will now send a packet to the server every 240 seconds to keep the connection alive.
- In the Category pane, click Session.
- Click Save.
WinSCP keep connections alive
- When connecting, enter the Advanced Site Settings dialog
- In the Keepalives section, choose an appropriate method
- Click OK.
