Unexpected termination error when running CLI commands

Issue

After running any CLI command, I get the following stack trace:

Mar 11, 2015 3:04:58 PM hudson.remoting.SynchronousCommandTransport$ReaderThread run
SEVERE: I/O error in channel CLI connection to `+https://<MY_URL>+`
java.io.IOException: Unexpected termination of the channel
at hudson.remoting.SynchronousCommandTransport$ReaderThread.run(SynchronousCommandTransport.java:50)
Caused by: java.io.EOFException

Environment

CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise

Resolution

jenkins-cli should match each Jenkins LTS version so be sure you are running the jenkins-cli which matches the Jenkins version you are running.

Diagnostics

You can enable more logging under https://<JENKINS_URL>/log/

Add New Log Recorder
Name the new Log
Add Logger hudson.cli.* or (specifically hudson.cli.CLI)
