mosh

Mobile Shell (mosh) is a robust and responsive replacement for SSH. mosh persists connections to remote servers while roaming between networks. More information: https://mosh.org.
  • Connect to a remote server:
    mosh {{username}}@{{remote_host}}
  • Connect to a remote server with a specific identity (private key):
    mosh --ssh="ssh -i {{path/to/key_file}}" {{username}}@{{remote_host}}
  • Connect to a remote server using a specific port:
    mosh --ssh="ssh -p {{2222}}" {{username}}@{{remote_host}}
  • Run a command on a remote server:
    mosh {{remote_host}} -- {{command -with -flags}}
  • Select Mosh UDP port (useful when {{remote_host}} is behind a NAT):
    mosh -p {{124}} {{username}}@{{remote_host}}
  • Usage when mosh-server binary is outside standard path:
    mosh --server={{path/to/bin/}}mosh-server {{remote_host}}
