Sarah and I both still use an old-school bulletin board system (perhaps partially for sentimental reasons) via the command line.Īll of these things add up to annoyance with slow network speeds for command-line tasks.Don’t get me started on O 2‘s network coverage in Regensburg (seriously, I can’t believe that people actually give them money). Cellular coverage in Germany along the train lines (around here, anyways) is lousy, even on the major carriers like Telekom and Vodafone.I’ve got web hosts which allow/require me to use the command line to make certain kinds of updates to the design and functionality of this site and others.I’ve got a mifi we can use while traveling inside of Germany. Some of them stay running while we’re out traveling. I’ve got five computers running some flavor of Unix (I’m counting Macintosh computers among those) at home in the apartment, 2 of which can travel with us and three of which stay in the apartment (two desktops and a tiny fileserver/webserver/webproxy).But we don’t always just stay there at home often our geekery needs to travel with us. The usual geeky stuff (food, travel, language, etc.) will follow again soon. As such, it’s probably not intended for you, but my hope is that someone else will find it useful. It’s about improving your user-experience as a command-line user on remote Unix-like systems.
#MOSH MOBILE SHELL HOW TO#
After installation, you must run the ‘mosh -help’ command to view the program’s command-line options and usage message, so you can learn how to use it.Warning: this post is intensely technical, bordering on arcane.
#MOSH MOBILE SHELL INSTALL#
Then, run the ‘./configure & make’ command to configure and compile the program, followed by the ‘sudo make install’ command to install it system wide. Open a Terminal app and go to the location where you’ve extracted the archive file (e.g. To install the Mosh application on your GNU/Linux distribution, you must first download the latest release from its official website or from Softpedia, save the archive somewhere on your personal computer, and unpack it using your favorite archive manager utility. It also supports long-distance links, it does not listen on network ports to authenticate the user, doesn’t run in the background, as a daemon, and helps you get rid of the network lag. The software supports the CTRL+C keyboard combination to stop processes, and allows you to change your IP address on the go. The program can be used from the command-line interface and has been designed as a drop-in replacement for the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol. Mosh (mobile shell) is a responsive and robust software that supports uninterrupted connectivity (Cellular or Wi-Fi), smart local echo, as well as line editing of user’s keystrokes. An application for the Android mobile operating system is also available for download.
#MOSH MOBILE SHELL MAC OS#
It runs on various POSIX platforms, including GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. Mosh is a completely free and open source command-line software, a Linux/UNIX shell or a remote terminal program created from the ground up as an alternative for SSH (Secure Shell).
