Hi everyone!
We just released a new version of MobaXterm (10.4)!
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, …) to Windows desktop, in a single portable exe file which works out of the box.
This release adds support for shared sessions: you can export some sessions to a file, put this file in a shared location (network drive, intranet, FTP or SSH/SFTP server), and share it among your team members who use MobaXterm.
We also tried to add support for AWS S3 sessions: you can browse your S3 buckets using this graphical session type. However, this is still experimental as we have not been able to test it thoroughly on many different kinds of accounts yet.
Many features that you requested have also been implemented: a confirmation message can now be displayed before pasting multiple lines to the terminal, in order to avoid unexpected lines execution in interactive shell. We also improved syntax coloration of standard keywords (OK/warning/error/…), mobapt package manager, we added new setting which allows to hide the popup terminal instead of closing it in order to avoid losing previous terminal commands, and much more…
We also improved MobaXterm behavior and fixed issues with multi-monitors, IPv6 connections, mouse scrolling and keyboard shortcuts. Besides these additions and improvements we have tried to fix several other limitations and bugs that you reported. As usual, your feedback is greatly appreciated!
