Mosh - SSH 2012

    Mosh - replacement (or addition) of SSH. It is faster and more responsive, especially on links with high latency, for example, in mobile networks. Type a character, and instantly see it on the screen, just like in the local terminal. Why? Because Mosh implements the so-called local line editing, which does not wait for a response from the server, but immediately displays everything on the screen. It works even in full-screen applications like vim or emacs. And this is far from the only plus!

    With Mosh you can:


    Change ip and stay connected.
    Most software falls off if you switch, for example, between wi-fi networks. Mosh - no.
    Save session when connection is lost.
    Has the Internet fallen? Sent a laptop to sleep? Mosh wakes up, as if nothing had happened.
    Run on behalf of the user
    No demons. You do not need to be root to install or run Mosh.
    Login as before.
    Mosh does not listen on ports and does not authenticate. Mosh logs in via ssh and starts the server via udp.
    Press Control-C once
    Mosh does not fill out network buffers and uses udp, so if you accidentally output a 100 megabyte file to the screen, ^ C will instantly stop its output.

    Disadvantages and ambiguities:


    • IPv6 not yet implemented
    • Only works with UTF-8
    • Uses ports 60,000–61,000 (thousand ports)
