Mosh requires UTF-8 locales to be set in order to run. To check, run:
user $locale -aIn case it does not return the UTF-8 locale see UTF-8#Setting up UTF-8 with Gentoo Linux.
Firewall
Each mosh client requires a free and accessible UDP port between 60000 and 61000 on the server to function.
Usage
Connecting
Once the remote host has SSH running, mosh installed, and the UFT8 locale set connection is possible:
user $mosh user@remote-host.com
