NAME
mosh-client - client-side helper for mosh
SYNOPSIS
MOSH_KEY=KEY
mosh-client
[-v]
IP PORT
mosh-client
-c
DESCRIPTION
mosh-client is a helper program for the
mosh(1)
remote terminal application.
mosh itself is a setup script that establishes an SSH
connection, runs the server-side helper mosh-server,
and collects the server's port number and session key.
mosh then executes mosh-client with the server's IP
address, port, and session key. mosh-client runs for
the lifetime of the connection.
The 22-byte base64 session key given by mosh-server is supplied
in the MOSH_KEY environment variable. This represents a 128-bit AES
key that protects the integrity and confidentiality of the session.
For constructing new setup wrappers for remote execution facilities
other than SSH, it may be necessary to invoke mosh-client
directly.
With the -c option, mosh-client instead prints the number of colors
of the terminal given by the TERM environment variable.
The -v option will print some debugging information on standard
error. More instances of this flag will result in more debugging
information. If standard error is not redirected from the terminal,
the display will be corrupted and quickly become unusable.
