mosh: Usage when `mosh-server` binary is outside standard path.
$ mosh --server=${path-to-bin-}mosh-server ${remote_host}
try on your machine

This command initiates a connection to a remote host using the "mosh" (Mobile Shell) protocol.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • mosh: This is the command to start a mosh session.
  • --server=${path-to-bin-}mosh-server: This option specifies the path to the "mosh-server" binary on the local machine. The '${path-to-bin-}' placeholder suggests that you need to provide the actual path to the directory where the 'mosh-server' binary is located. The 'mosh-server' binary is responsible for handling the server-side of the mosh connection.
  • ${remote_host}: This is the hostname or IP address of the remote server you want to connect to.

When you run this command, it establishes a mosh session by connecting to the remote_host using the specified mosh server binary. Mosh is known for its ability to maintain a persistent connection even in situations with unreliable network connections, allowing for smoother and more responsive remote terminal sessions.
