Using mosh with FluentTerminal

mosh can be used in FluentTerminal in two ways:

  1. Through GUI, by turning on Use mosh option in SSH Connection dialog ('Ctrl+Shift+Y' and 'Ctrl+Alt+Y');
  2. As a custom command, in Quick Launch dialog ('Ctrl+Shift+Q' and 'Ctrl+Alt+Q').

The first way, through GUI is very simple and self-descriptive, and it will not be explained here. Using mosh in Quick Launch is more complicated, but also offers more control. The simplest mosh command you can enter is:

mosh user@host

This will initiate a mosh session with default options (i.e. port range will default to 60000:61000).

mosh additionally supports many more command-line arguments. In fact, it's almost completely compliant to mosh(1) - Linux man page. mosh is defined there as:

mosh [options] [--] [user@]host [command...]

mosh embedded in FluentTerminal only lacks support for the last part ([command...]). You can find detailed explanation at the man page mentioned above. Also you can execute custom command mosh --help, and you'll get the following output:

Usage: mosh [options] [user@]host

      --client=VALUE         Path to client helper on local machine (default:
                               "mosh-client")
      --server=VALUE         Command to run server helper on remote machine
                               (default: "mosh-server").
                                Example: '--server="mosh-server new -v -c 256"-
                               '.
                                See https://linux.die.net/man/1/mosh-server for
                               more details.
      --ssh=VALUE            OpenSSH command to remotely execute mosh-server
                               on remote machine (default: "ssh").
                                Example: ''--ssh="ssh -p 2222"'.
                                See https://man.openbsd.org/ssh for more
                               details.
      --predict=VALUE        Controls use of speculative local echo. Defaults
                               to 'adaptive' (show predictions on slower links
                               and to smooth out network glitches) and can also
                               be 'always' or 'never'.
  -a                         Synonym 'for --predict=always'.
  -n                         Synonym 'for --predict=never'.
  -p, --port=VALUE           Use a particular server-side UDP port or port
                               range, for example, if this is the only port
                               that is forwarded through a firewall to the
                               server. Otherwise, mosh will choose a port
                               between 60000 and 61000.
                                Example: '--port=60000:60100'
      --help                 Show help.
      --no-init              Do not send the smcup initialization string and
                               rmcup deinitialization string to the client's
                               terminal. On many terminals this disables
                               alternate screen mode.

Exit codes:
  254 - Invalid command line arguments
  255 - Initial SSH of Mosh connection setup failed
  All other values - Exit code returned by remote shell
