trzsz-ssh ( tssh ) is an ssh client designed as a drop-in replacement for the openssh client. It aims to provide complete compatibility with openssh, mirroring all its features, while also offering additional useful features not found in the openssh client.
trzsz-ssh ( tssh ) with [tsshd](https://github.com/trzsz/tsshd) also supports intermittent connectivity, allows roaming, and can be used on high-latency links such as cellular data connections, unstable Wi-Fi, etc.
### Why to do
- `tssh` login prompt supports searching and selecting the servers to log in to, if you can't remember them.
- `tssh` has built-in support for [trzsz](https://trzsz.github.io/) ( trz / tsz ), no longer need to open a new session to transfer files.
- `tssh` supports multiple selection and batch login, and supports executing the preset remote command.
- `tssh` supports remember password, supports automated interaction, improving your login efficiency.
- `tssh` instead of `trzsz ssh` on Windows, solves the issue of slow upload speed of `trz` on Windows.
- `tssh` with [tsshd](https://github.com/trzsz/tsshd) are similar to mosh, solved some of mosh's issues, such as SSH forwarding and ProxyJump.
