About

Mosh is a remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Mosh is a replacement for interactive SSH terminals. It’s more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.

It’s is free software, available for GNU/Linux, BSD, macOS, Solaris, Android, Chrome, and iOS.

Key Features:

• Mosh automatically roams as you move between Internet connections.
• With Mosh, you can put your laptop to sleep and wake it up later, keeping your connection intact.
• It gives an instant response to typing, deleting, and line editing.
• You don’t need to be the superuser to install or run Mosh.
• Mosh doesn’t listen on network ports or authenticate users. The mosh client logs in to the server via SSH, and users present the same credentials (e.g., password, public key).
• You can use it inside xterm, gnome-terminal, urxvt, Terminal.app, iTerm, emacs, screen, or tmux.
• Unlike SSH, mosh’s UDP-based protocol handles packet loss gracefully, and sets the frame rate based on network conditions.
