send command to linux tmux through ssh from OSX

I am using tmux on a linux machine. I ssh into the linux machine from a mac osx machine but the tmux commands are being applied to my mac terminal instead of the tmux on linux. For example, control+b+d would close the tmux window on linux but instead it is intercepted by my mac terminal and creates a split panel instead. How do I send the command through to tmux?

This is a bit confusing. Are you running tmux on your OS X machine as well, so there are two tmux? If so, you need to press C-b C-b (two C-b to send the prefix through to the inside tmux).

If not, it sounds like your terminal uses C-b for something else, you can either change the prefix in tmux to something your terminal doesn't use (see https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started#changing-the-prefix-key), or configure your terminal not to use C-b.
