      @BBigford Ah, I gotcha. I never run into that because I'm a paid customer. 8-)

      MobaXterm is pricey, for sure... but definitely worth it to me.

      IT has a built in SFTP engine so that anytime you connect to a Linux machine, it gives you an SFTP tab for up / downloading files, so you don't have to use yet another application for that.

      Don't get me wrong, $70 is nothing. I have just yet to find anything in a free version that after I used it, I said "you know... that software is awesome. I'd pay for that software."

      But once you talk about paid, there's probably a lot of solutions that I could look at and opens up a whole new can of worms for alternatives to Terminals/RDCM/mRemoteNG/etc. Just never looked into paid to this point.

      Installing MobaXterm now though.

      It's $70 per user and you are allowed to use it anywhere

          So far MXT is pretty awesome. I noticed right away it has the same scaling issues as Terminals though.. If you start a session when the screen isn't maximized, you have to re-establish the session. It only takes a few seconds but it's just something I notice.

                I believe if you hit the fit to Window size button that it should resize and not totally reconnect.

                  yes, but it reconnects. And this can be a PITA if you are using a remote X session for example, because it will login again and your old session is lost. This IS an issue in MobaXterm.

                    So far, my only complaint. Not an issue just with Moba. This is an issue with many many vendors. So far, that is something I can overlook since it is so common, and it is really my only complaint. Everything else is awesome.

                      To be honest, most tools are using the freerdp library behind the scenes. And so does MobaXterm, AFAIK. The problem is within this library

                        That would make sense if all the ones having issues are using that library.

                              That looks pretty slick for SSH. Why use X2Go instead of Putty? or if you want saved sessions, instead of Xshell5?

                                What even competes with it? I'm not even sure what the other option would be.

                                  That looks pretty slick for SSH. Why use X2Go instead of Putty? or if you want saved sessions, instead of Xshell5?

                                  X2Go is an NX client. Putty is an SSH client. Very different use cases.

                                    This is why everybody is recommending X2Go these days. 8-)

                                    What even competes with it? I'm not even sure what the other option would be.

                                    SecureCRT (if we're comparing paid versions), Xshell5 ?

                                        @BBigford Ah, I gotcha. I never run into that because I'm a paid customer. 8-)

                                        MobaXterm is pricey, for sure... but definitely worth it to me.

                                        IT has a built in SFTP engine so that anytime you connect to a Linux machine, it gives you an SFTP tab for up / downloading files, so you don't have to use yet another application for that.

                                        So far MXT is pretty awesome. I noticed right away it has the same scaling issues as Terminals though.. If you start a session when the screen isn't maximized, you have to re-establish the session. It only takes a few seconds but it's just something I notice.

                                        I believe if you hit the fit to Window size button that it should resize and not totally reconnect.

                                        yes, but it reconnects. And this can be a PITA if you are using a remote X session for example, because it will login again and your old session is lost. This IS an issue in MobaXterm.

                                        So far, my only complaint. Not an issue just with Moba. This is an issue with many many vendors. So far, that is something I can overlook since it is so common, and it is really my only complaint. Everything else is awesome.

                                        To be honest, most tools are using the freerdp library behind the scenes. And so does MobaXterm, AFAIK. The problem is within this library

                                        That would make sense if all the ones having issues are using that library.

                                        Anyway. Found the screensaver yet?

                                        Checking that out now.

                                        Haha bummer...

                                          X2Go provides a remote GUI, much like Remote Desktop does for Windows... It includes the ability to disconnect and not lose all your work... Can XShell5 do that [just curious, as I'm not familiar with it at all]?
