About
Mosh is a free, open-source replacement for SSH that provides a more robust and responsive remote terminal experience. It supports seamless roaming across network changes, survives intermittent connectivity, and offers instant local keystroke echo using a UDP-based state-synchronization protocol. Available on Linux, macOS, BSD, Android, iOS, and Chrome.
Problem
SSH sessions drop when switching networks, suffer high latency, and cannot survive intermittent connectivity.
For
developers and system administrators who use remote terminal sessions
How it works
Mosh uses a UDP-based State Synchronization Protocol (SSP) to keep client and server screen states in sync, enabling seamless roaming and instant local echo without relying on a persistent TCP connection.
