mosh

mosh is faster than SSH, because UDP instead of TCP or something idk. mosh is faster and has this prediction thingy, that’s all i care about. hehe.

a few things to note:

  • mosh still needs ssh, cause it uses ssh to connect, and then UDP takes over.
  • for mosh to work, you have to either:
    • open UDP ports 60000-61000 on your server
    • or open a certain port (eg. 60001) and pass it with mosh
  • mosh should be installed on both server and client. (like rsync)

command

mosh user@host

custom UDP port for mosh

mosh -p $CUSTOM_UDP_PORT user@host

custom SSH port + mosh UDP port

mosh --ssh="ssh -p $CUSTOM_SSH_PORT" -p $CUSTOM_UDP_PORT user@host
