Mosh
Remote terminal that supports roaming, intermittent connectivity, and instant local echo.
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.
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.
