Mosh
A remote terminal application that supports intermittent connectivity, roaming, and predictive local echo for better mobile and high-latency usage.
What is Mosh?
Mosh (Mobile Shell) is a remote terminal application that replaces SSH for interactive sessions, offering persistent connections through network changes and predictive local echo for responsive use on high-latency or unstable networks. It solves the problem of dropped sessions and laggy feedback when using traditional SSH on mobile or unreliable connections.
System administrators, developers, and power users who need reliable remote terminal access from laptops, tablets, or phones, especially while traveling or on cellular networks.
Developers choose Mosh over SSH for its ability to maintain sessions across IP changes, provide instant local feedback on keystrokes, and work seamlessly on lossy or high-latency links without requiring manual reconnection.
