Mobaxterm For Mac
MobaXterm for Mac. MobaXterm by Mobatek is a free piece of software that provides you with a terminal emulator, a SSH client, X11 server as well as several remote computing tools. Sadly, there is no version of MobaXterm for Mac available just yet, but there are other similar programs that you can try. The following list includes several.
The main use of the bastion host is to connect to Linux machines inside the department firewall from a machine outside without having to run a VPN session. The easiest way to do this from a computer running Windows is with MobaXterm.This application handles logging in, copying files back and forth, and running graphical applications all in one.
Download it from https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html . The free Home Edition will be sufficient for most people.
Start it up and create a new session (Sessions menu, New session). Pick SSH as the session type.
This will bring up the SSH settings dialogue. Under Basic SSH settings, make these changes
- Fill in Remote host with the full name of the machine you want to end up connected to (not the bastion host itself)
- Tick Specify username
- Enter your Chemistry username in the box next to the Specify username checkbox
Click on Network Settings to move to that tab. Make these changes
- Tick Connect through SSH gateway (jump host)
- Enter the full name of the bastion host in the Gateway SSH server box. The main department bastion host is citadel.ch.cam.ac.uk
- Enter your Chemistry username in the box next to the box showing Port 22
Click on OK.
You should be prompted to login to first the bastion host, then the machine you actually wanted to connect to. While connected you can use the left hand pane (a file browser on the Linux machine) to copy files back and forth by dragging & dropping.
If you start a graphical application on the remote machine its windows should appear on your screen.
MobaXterm is also available on managed Windows workstations.
MobaXterm is your ultimate toolbox for remote computing. In a single Windows application, it provides loads of functions that are tailored for programmers, webmasters, IT administrators and pretty much all users who need to handle their remote jobs in a more simple fashion.
MobaXterm provides all the important remote network tools (SSH, X11, RDP, VNC, FTP, MOSH, ...) and Unix commands (bash, ls, cat, sed, grep, awk, rsync, ...) to Windows desktop, in a single portable exe file which works out of the box. More info on supported network protocols
There are many advantages of having an All-In-One network application for your remote tasks, e.g. when you use SSH to connect to a remote server, a graphical SFTP browser will automatically pop up in order to directly edit your remote files. Your remote applications will also display seamlessly on your Windows desktop using the embedded X server. See demo
You can download and use MobaXterm Home Edition for free. If you want to use it inside your company, you should consider subscribing to MobaXterm Professional Edition: this will give you access to much more features and the 'Customizer' software. Features comparison
