Bundled mosh-client (MoshCatty)
This directory holds the pure Rust mosh-client from
binaricat/MoshCatty.
Netcatty runs SSH + mosh-server bootstrap itself, then launches this binary
(see electron/bridges/moshHandshake.cjs and terminalBridge/moshSession.cjs).
Layout
| Target | Release asset | Local path |
|---|---|---|
| Linux x64 | mosh-client-linux-x64.tar.gz |
linux-x64/mosh-client |
| Linux arm64 | mosh-client-linux-arm64.tar.gz |
linux-arm64/mosh-client |
| macOS universal | mosh-client-darwin-universal.tar.gz |
darwin-universal/mosh-client |
| Windows x64 | mosh-client-win32-x64.tar.gz |
win32-x64/mosh-client.exe |
Each tarball contains only the client binary (no Cygwin DLLs, no terminfo).
Windows builds static-link the MSVC CRT (moshcatty-0.1.1+).
Release tags: moshcatty-* (require moshcatty-0.1.8+) from
binaricat/MoshCatty, with SHA256SUMS.
Linux glibc floors
Linux assets must start on the same distros Netcatty packages for. From
moshcatty-0.1.2, MoshCatty builds Linux clients on:
| Target | Build image | Max required GLIBC |
|---|---|---|
linux-x64 |
AlmaLinux 8 | 2.28 |
linux-arm64 |
Debian bullseye | 2.31 |
Do not pin packaging to moshcatty-0.1.0 / 0.1.1 Linux binaries: those
were built on Ubuntu runners and require GLIBC 2.34.
