Hi everyone!
We just built a new release of MobaXterm (version 8.1)!
This new version comes with several new improvements among which:
- Improved SFTP browser for SSH connections
- Improved Windows 10 compatibility (no bugs found on Windows 10 final version yet)
- Improved local terminal and overall startup speed
- Some bug fixes (duplicate tab, powershell, SSH)
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.
