mosh: Connect to a remote server.
$ mosh ${username}@${remote_host}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the mosh (mobile shell) program to establish a remote connection to a server.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • mosh: This is the command that starts the mosh program.
  • ${username}@${remote_host}: This is the remote server's address and the username you want to connect with. Replace ${username} with the actual username you want to log in with, and ${remote_host} with the IP address or hostname of the remote server.

When you run this command, mosh will attempt to establish a secure, server-side connection to the specified remote host using the SSH protocol. Mosh provides advantages over traditional SSH connections, such as improved reliability and better responsiveness for interactive terminal applications.
