The SSH client indicates that the break sequence is invalid or contains a syntax error. You can
correct the error and resend the break sequence.
Transferring read/write access
Only one user at a time can have read/write access to a shared SSH Passthrough or Avocent Session
Viewer session. The first user who opens the session has read/write access. If that user exits a
shared session, read/write access is granted to a randomly selected user who is sharing the session.
A user with read-only access can enter a command to obtain read/write access.
