@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.
We forgot to mention that screensaver
Screensaver? Please share...
Just open a SSH session and wait a few minutes

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.

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

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

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]?

I don't want to foot the bill, and the worst thing that could happen to the network this year just happened, so I'm holding off on asking. Someone screwed up reeeeally bad.

Someone did something they were told never to do... overwrote a production database with a broken, outdated dev one. Happened by putting a dev database on a production SQL server. Tried to do a roll back... turns out he's been messing with it for a week. Oops. Interested to see how this turns out... looking over my monitors, I can see sweat forming on his brow.

...and it's on a server that is the core of the company. Someone is on the phone with support right now though. So hopefully it'll get fixed today. If I was him I'd be shitting my pants right now. He'll be pretty lucky if he keeps his job.
