    Something really cool I forgot to mention is the screensaver embedded into MobaXterm. If you leave if for some minutes your screen gets filled with flying hats penguins 🙂 Cute !

    Another great SSH tabbed terminal unfortunately proprietary is SecureCRT. If you have some time be sure to give it a try 🙂

    By the way KiTTY's Putty variation has support for saving password. This is very confortable if you have to manage "forest" of servers. Of course it is less secure than typing the password everytime but still worthy to use if you have to take care for 300 or more servers.

      Current latest MobaXterm is 7.4. in help menu the program has a way to check for newer updates. Updating an old portable MobaXterm is done nice by just substituting the old portable app binary and using the same old configuration. apt-get install mc worked lika charm now I have mc on my Windows ! 🙂 This program absolutely rox really!!!

    MobaXterm comes with Busybox preinstalled respectively with following UNIX default commands, "out of the box":

    [desktop.hipo] ➤ /bin/busybox.exe –help
    BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-09-26 07:33:17 CEST) multi-call binary.
    BusyBox is copyrighted by many authors between 1998-2012.

    copyright notices.

    Usage: busybox [function [arguments]…]
       or: busybox –list
       or: function [arguments]…

            BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
            utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
            link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
            will act like whatever it was invoked as.

    The only downside of mobaxterm is it is shareware and source is clodes for those looking Free Software / Open Source substitute to mobaxterm try out SuperPutty

    Other alternative to mobaxterm that is free software is MTPutty (Multi Tabbed Putty)

    To understand how supreme is MobaXterm and how much it has evolved over the few years, just install something like SuperPutty and see the difference. Superputty even though free and a kinda of tabbed terminal as a final alternative does the job but it is like a screwdriver compared to a whole set of fine tuned instruments box.
