Re: [PLUG] Just sharing a good product

Update: MobaXterm replied to my questions as to why EU is cheaper than USD, when the two are almost at parity.  They said they don't automate or update the current exchange rate, so it's a one and done.  They did say you could pay in Euros to get the cheaper price.  ...<rant> So odd, they're qualified to code a product as good as this, but not able to provide quotes with accurate and current exchange rates.

Good luck,

Mike

Thanks Mike and Rich for this info.  I have 3 or 4 clients that I *must* use Windows to access. They either require a Win-specific VPN or that plus then RDP to a Windows 2008 server and then SSH to the actual Linux server (ugh).  

I will try it... and pay up for the PRO if I like it compared to the current putty tools I'm using.

Thanks again
Eric

Worth mentioning that it's a Windows product, for those that hadn't hit the link. I use it and am quite fond of it, I've not seen X forwarding set up so quickly and easily before. If I had the funds available, I'd pick up a year of pro for certain. I was using it and my Linode to bypass an annoyingly strict web filter at a previous job (Who blacklists redhat.com???), and it's been a really handy toolkit for folks running Windows and working on Linux.

I'd still advise getting a Linux install or VM running instead, though.

To All,

   For more than a year I have been using a really good terminal product called MobaXterm and just wanted to share it with all of you.  If you know about it great, if not...

   I was tasked with supporting many remote servers and got tired of losing my putty windows and was looking for a better way to organize my workload.  MobaXterm provides a tabbed client that allows me to control, label, and colorize my xterm sessions.  It also provides and sftp browser, an X11 emulator, ssh tunneling, and a whole lot more.

   There is a free and professional edition.  The free does most of what I need, the pro allows unlimited sessions; I think the bookmark or memory sessions are limited to 10.  Pro edition is $69, which is steep for me, especially since the EU price is only 49EU; the USD and EU are almost same, which does not make sense, but <insert rant here>.

    Anyway, if you need something like the above, here is the link:


    Thanks,

Mike
