TTY is a physically connected one, via the serial/console port. VTY is a virtually connected one, via telnet or SSH. Both will get you to a command line interface.

"Command line, or EXEC, access to a router can be made in a number of ways, but in all cases the inbound connection to the router is made on a TTY line.

virtual tty (vty) lines for Telnet, SSH, and FTP services. Each Telnet, SSH, or FTP session requires one vty line. When you connect to the router through a vty line, the number of the vty line is not assigned sequentially; instead, the system assigns the first vty line that passes the host access list check rules.

I think what u looking for is clear line tty # number of line to disconnect. there is (or should be) a keyboard shortcut also. why Ctrl-Shift-6 then X does not work? it should. once in cli of remote device, do Ctrl-Shift-6 then X to go back, then following" show sessions to see sessions numbers. disconnect # session number to disconnect session #
