MOSH

MOSH was a user defined distribution channel for mobile content initiated by Nokia. The name "MOSH" comes from "Mobilize and Share".

The channel can be used to both download and upload various content for mobile phones or other platforms. File types that are handled are: audio, images, applications, games, videos, documents.

A person can create an account on MOSH that comes with the following stats: creator (for content created by that person), collector (for the number of objects added to the collection in the account) and sharer (for uploading files that are not necessarily the work of that person).

MOSH was launched by Nokia in August 2007 and remained in Beta until its closure.

Mosh (software)

In computing, Mosh (mobile shell) is a tool used to connect from a client computer to a server over the Internet, to run a remote terminal. Mosh is similar to SSH, with additional features meant to improve usability for mobile users. The major features are:

  • Mosh keeps its connection when a user " roams" to different IP addresses, for example by moving to a different Wi-Fi network or when changing from Wi-Fi to 3G.
  • Mosh keeps the connection open (not in the TCP-sense though, Mosh uses UDP) when a user loses their Internet connection or puts their client to " sleep." In comparison, SSH can lose its connection in such cases because TCP times out.
  • Mosh tries to show a user the keys they have typed, and deletions they have made to text, immediately, without waiting for network lag. It uses an adaptive system that predicts whether the application running on the server will decide to echo the user's keystrokes or deletions.

The main drawbacks of mosh are additional prerequisites to the server and that it lacks some special features of SSH (such as connection forwarding).
