Ubuntu | git | ssh| Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer fatal | Resolved

I didn't get to the root cause. My best finding is that the connection packets are too big for the server to handle, and the connection is reset. Workarounds: limit the packet size. Two alternatives: Limit cipher list length by using '-c ' in the ssh command line, e.g. '-c aes256-ctr' OR YOU HAVE TO ADD FOLLOWING TO at the end of file ~/.ssh/config or in ubuntu sudo vim /etc/ssh/ssh_config 1. Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc 2.
