# mosh

> Mobile Shell (`mosh`) is a robust and responsive replacement for SSH.
> `mosh` persists connections to remote servers while roaming between networks.
> More information: <https://mosh.org>.

- Connect to a remote server:

`mosh {{username}}@{{remote_host}}`

- Connect to a remote server with a specific identity (private key):

`mosh --ssh="ssh -i {{path/to/key_file}}" {{username}}@{{remote_host}}`

- Connect to a remote server using a specific port:

`mosh --ssh="ssh -p {{2222}}" {{username}}@{{remote_host}}`

- Run a command on a remote server:

`mosh {{remote_host}} -- {{command -with -flags}}`

- Select Mosh UDP port (useful when `remote_host` is behind a NAT):

`mosh -p {{124}} {{username}}@{{remote_host}}`

- Usage when `mosh-server` binary is outside standard path:

`mosh --server={{path/to/bin/}}mosh-server {{remote_host}}`
