PuTTY Fatal Error - Software caused connection abort

I'm using Putty 0.70 64bit client on my windows 10 to connect to odroidXU4 running ubuntu 18.04 minimal(XU4-20180531) and openssh-server (>= 1:7.6p1-4ubuntu0.1)



I am able to constantly replicate the PuTTY Fatal Error (Network Error: Software caused connection abort) by two ways:



The first way is by using cat on a 70kb text file with 450 lines. PuTTY will partially display the output, hang for awhile, before showing the error.



The second way is to open up vi/vim/nano on a 9kb config file with 263 lines and hold the pageDownKey/RightArrowKey for some seconds. In this case, PuTTY also hangs before showing the error.





However, the disconnect can be avoided when i use less instead of cat. Similarly, it can also be avoided by pressing the pageDownKey/RightArrowKey slowly, one key at a time.



My guess is that there could be a problem in the bufferring, transmission or display, where a larger amount of input/output than usual being send/received in small bursts might be causing the software error.



Does anybody face the similar issue?



Are there any configurations or workarounds that can potentially solve this issue?





Update 1:



I used the windows built in ssh client to no avail.



Openssh-server 1:6.7pl-5 on an OMV3 image (debian jessie) doesn't have this issue. Will try to install an older version of openssh-server.
