mosh:tldr:f638a
This command is used for initiating a connection to a remote server using Mosh (Mobile Shell) protocol. Mosh is a replacement for SSH (Secure Shell) that provides enhanced connectivity and responsiveness.
Let's break down the command:
-
mosh
: This is the command to start the Mosh shell. -
--ssh="ssh -i ${path-to-key_file}"
: This option specifies the SSH command to be used by Mosh for establishing the initial connection. Here, the--ssh
option is set to "ssh -i ${path-to-key_file}
".-
ssh
: It specifies that the underlying SSH protocol should be used. -
-i ${path-to-key_file}
: This specifies the identity (private key) file to be used for authentication during the SSH connection.${path-to-key_file}
should be replaced with the actual file path of the SSH private key.
-
-
${username}@${remote_host}
: This specifies the username and hostname or IP address of the remote server to connect to.${username}
should be replaced with the actual username, and${remote_host}
should be replaced with the actual host information.
Overall, this command is used to establish a Mosh connection to a remote server using a specific SSH command for authentication, with the provided username and remote host information.
