This works fine. The only problem is the connection always times out
even though I've changed the sshd_config files on both machines to keep
it alive. I've restarted the sshd daemon also. Not sure why the
connection keeps closing.

If you have root access increase the ssh session idle time
echo "3600" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
that's 3600 seconds (1hr), you can change it.
or just run the command "top" in the active terminal.
