preventing ssh time-outs

In addition to my earlier ssh keep alive post, some more way to keep ssh from timing out - on the client side, 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25084288/keep-ssh-session-alive

and

on the server side, 

https://www.tecmint.com/increase-ssh-connection-timeout/

On the client side on Linux etc, editing or creating the file $HOME/.ssh/config , giving it appropriate permissions, 

chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/config

and adding the lines below - 

Host *

    ServerAliveInterval 240

On Putty, Connection -> seconds between keepalives - set it to 100 or something like that if timing out.
