This is the fourth day of my participation in the August Text Challenge.More challenges in August
This paper introduces a versatile terminal artifact – MobaXterm! (I use the original intention is to see it can directly drag Windows files into the VIRTUAL machine this stunt!)
MobaXterm, also known as MobaXVT, is an enhanced remote connection tool similar to xshell. You can easily try GNUUnix commands on Unix/Linux. This way, we can try out the virtual environment without installing the virtual machine, and then use most Linux commands simply through MobaXterm.
Advantages of this artifact:
- Very powerful, support SSH, FTP, serial port, VNC, X Server and other functions;
- Support labels, switching is also very convenient;
- Many shortcut keys, easy to operate;
- There are rich plug-ins that can further enhance functionality;
- There’s a paid version, but the free version is more than enough…
Of course, the advantages and functions are far more than these, and more flash points are expected to be discovered by readers!
1. Software installation
Go directly to the official website to download, there is a free version to download. (The official website download speed is very slow, the following direct network disk link go!) Of course, you don’t mind if you’re rich enough to buy the premium version. The free version is available not only as an install version, but also as an install-free green version, which we can even copy to a USB drive at home with all the same configuration.

2. Create an SSH session
After installation, the interface looks like this.
Click the menu bar “Sessions” –> “New Session” to pop up the “Session Setting” dialog box. The power of a Moba can be seen from the list of connections above.
Click on the first SSH icon and fill in the information to complete the session creation.
Click OK and enter your password to connect to the virtual machine. And after the virtual machine, it will automatically connect to the virtual machine through FTP, directly drag and drop files can be copied.
3. Quickly connect to sessions
Once you have created a session, you can leave its information in the session TAB on the left and double-click it the next time you need to connect.
4. A few useful Settings
4.1 Hide the row of buttons under the menu bar
The row of buttons under the menu bar is a bit of a chicken. All of them can be found in the menu bar and are not used very often.
Click “View” –> “Show menu bar” in the menu bar to hide this row button.
4.2 Right-click Paste
In many terminal tools, there is such a function: left mouse click to copy a file, right click to paste text. But in Moba, right click paste function is not enabled by default, we can manually enable it.
On the menu bar, click “Settings” > “Configuration”, select “Terminal” in the dialog box that is displayed, and then check “Paste Using right-click”.
4.3 Disabling automatic SFTP Eject
After the Moba connects to the remote computer, the SFTP sidebar on the left opens automatically. Sometimes you don’t need SFTP, and the main window is black and SFTP is white, which is a bit harsh, so you can turn off the automatic popup SFTP.
On the menu bar, click “Settings” –> “Configuration”. In the dialog box that pops up, select “SSH”. Then uncheck automaticall switch to Ssh-Browser TAB after login.
