RoSSH

Robust SSH: Long live, auto reconnect ssh session that just works. No manual server installation or root privilege required. Support servers behind NAT and reverse proxies.

Why another one?

RoSSH is more robust than most of the outstanding SSH clients.

Perhaps the most useful feature of RoSSH is its ability to bypass NAT and firewalls without manually installing any software on the remote server. Even with this simplicity, RoSSH supports some complex features like public key agent forwarding.

Below is a detailed feature comparison with some similar projects.

Feature Mosh AutoSSH EternalTerminal RoSSH
No need to install remotely Yes Yes No Yes
Normal user (no root required) Yes Yes No Yes
Long live shell Yes No Yes Yes
Support servers behind NAT, firewalls, etc No Yes No Yes
Support native scroll No Yes Yes Yes
Port forwarding No Yes Yes Yes
Stable Agent forwarding No No Yes Yes
Better experience with long delay server echo Yes No No No

Installation

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gzz2000/RoSSH/master/install.sh)

RoSSH supports Linux and MacOS. Windows users can install it in WSL. Please run the above one-liner in your terminal, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

This would download rossh_server.py, rossh_client.py, rossh_common.py and put them under ~/.rossh.

RoSSH is written in Python. As a result, both your host and your remote server should have a Python 3.4+ interpreter -- which most UNIX distros already do.

Usage

Just replace your familiar ssh commands with rossh instead.

rossh <user>@<hostname>

You can add -L xxxx:xxxx, -A, -X, and other SSH client options along with the command line, or just store them in your ~/.ssh/config and RoSSH will obey them.

Note that you can't directly specify a command to execute at remote server, because RoSSH always opens a shell for you instead.
