By default, PuTTY window will close during an SSH session if an error occurs on the server side, without displaying the error message explaining why the session failed.

Step 1: To prevent PuTTY window from closing during an SSH session and to view the error message on the server side, set 'Close Window on exit' to 'Never' under the session tab. This is useful in troubleshooting SSH failure while accessing a remote server.
