Hello,

While using the SSH plugin I continually get socket timeout errors.

After some research (i'm not a java dev) I think the problem could be mitigated somewhat if I was able to configure the timeout value from within Jenkins.

From my limited understanding Jenkins is calling the Jsch library which does have a variable for sockettimeout: http://epaul.github.io/jsch-documentation/javadoc/com/jcraft/jsch/Session.html#setTimeout(int)

So similar to how we pass the host details and the keepalive settings can we add a field to configure the timeout?

Apologies if this is not the place for this.
