I've using ssh command and easymorph gave me time out error some times. I believe if I increase timeout, this issue is resolved cause our network is not stable and sometimes it take long time.

Thanks,  
Nomuun

Hi Nomuun and welcome to the Community!

Currently, the SSH connector doesn't have a timeout setting. As a workaround, if you use EasyMorph Server, you can configure a timeout for the entire task in the task settings.

Alternatively, you can use the ["Repeat" action](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=transformations:repeat) to retry a module until it doesn't return an error. See below a sample workflow that shows how to re-try a module until it completes successfully.

The "Repeat" action is an advanced action and requires a bit of learning. See the help article on the action: [REPEAT [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=transformations:repeat)

Here is a more elaborate example. It now includes a variant with a limit for retry attempts.
