When I first found out about mosh, I imagined it would work seamlessly even with servers that don’t have the mosh server installed by auto-installing itself.

If mosh could do this, I would `alias ssh=mosh` and use it all the time.

Otherwise I need to remember which servers have mosh installed, and for those that don’t I need to ssh in, apt-get mosh, disconnect, and reconnect with mosh.

I’d imagine it could either just scp a binary over to the target system (in the case of insufficient privileges) or use the system package manager to install itself.



That's supposing that you can run mosh in the background while you are not logged in.
