And I frankly think that mosh is definitely the wrong place for
anything file transfer.

If I want to edit a file remotely with a local editor, I don't need
nice latency. The file is just transmitted when I open it and when I
save it, not on every keystroke.

mosh is great if the editor is on the remote side, so using it for
cases where only the files are remote seems to looking at the wrong
tool.

		Kind regards, Axel
