Close SSH connection

Question

I'm using Mac's Terminal App and I know how to connect to an external server via ssh (ssh -l username domain.com). But how do I close the connection once I'm done? Thanks.

Answer 1

On the terminal window, you'll simply need to type "exit". It looks like this;

[username@mail0 ~]$ exit
logout
Connection to [IPADDRESS] closed.

Answer 2

Just close the window or press Ctrl-D, which will terminate the session.
