Remote connection manager

I use MobaXTerm (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/) and it's great. It does SSH, RDP, VNC, can do automatic SSH tunnelling if you need it, it just flat out rocks... It's a bit pricey, but I haven't found any that work as cleanly as this one does.

I've tried nRemoteNG, Remote Desktop Connection Manager, Terminals, and a few others. Everything typically has one big 'gotcha' that can't be overlooked.
What program is everyone using? Something with at least RDP, SSH, and VNC. Other things like HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet I don't use as much.
MobaXterm
Embedded X server, great SSH-port-forwarding, Putty KeyGen frontend, macro engine, can be repackaged to include / exclude functionality if you want to deploy on a larger scale, its portable (no install), cheap, just awesome...

Here's a "video" showing some of the features of v3.6. Current version is 9.1, it's just getting better: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/demo.html

Max 360 seconds for file transfers over tftp and nfs? Lol that's so low... Often I go well beyond 6 minutes...
-
@BBigford I don't use VNC anymore. Kind of glad I don't have a need for it. The enviornments and users here are pretty efficient on the day to day.
-
@BBigford Where do you see the Max 360 seconds?

Unless I'm totally reading this wrong, you get 6 minutes for those 3 things...
-
@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.

That restriction only applies to what was marked by you

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.

Just open a SSH session and wait a few minutes

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.
