Mosh (Mobile Shell)

news.ycombinator.com Keith Winstein 2025-10-31 18:59:14

Remote-shell protocols traditionally work by conveying a byte-stream from the server to the client, to be interpreted by the client's terminal. (This includes TELNET, RLOGIN, and SSH.)

The problem becomes one of state-synchronization: getting the client to the most recent server-side screen as efficiently as possible. This is accomplished using a new protocol c
