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.

On the terminal window, you'll simply need to type "exit". It looks like this;
[username@mail0 ~]$ exit
logout
Connection to [IPADDRESS] closed.
When I'm on a remote server via ssh this often wont give the desired result. Especially when working with screen
remote on a session that I want to continue some time later. Exit
would close the screen session. What works instead is to these three buttons / characters in a row:
Enter ~ .
(including the period at the end)
