MobaXterm

I wanted to include a one-liner in the title of this Techbit than just the tool name i.e. MobaXterm - it was very difficult though. There are so many wide-ranged features integrated into one single app.

Listed below are some of the features/findings:
  1. Tabbed Console with UNIX-like interface – replacement for Console & accommodates part of Cygwin
  2. Tabbed Console with support for embedded terminal server sessions – replacement for PuTTY Connection Manager
  3. X-server client – replacement for X-based commercial tools like Exceed or Reflection-X
  4. Multi-Execution Mode – you want the same command to be invoked in parallel on several servers? Then, this is what you want.
  5. Ability to download files (SFTP/FTP) from the terminal session – In general, if you want to fetch a file while working on a terminal server session, then you open a separate file transfer app (like FileZilla) and then download it. This can all be done from the same session in this tool.
MobaXterm is free and available for download at http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/.
