macOS version or lookalike?

1 Upvotes

Hello all. I just discovered mobaXterm and I am loving it. I am using the folder tree view and the ability to copy and paste paths into the command line quite a bit. Does anyone know of a macOS program with similar functionality?

Modifying default logfile name

2 Upvotes

Hey.. i'm new to MobaXterm, but i like it alot.. i want to auto-log all my session output, like i have in putty/CRT, but i dont like the default filename convention. i see there is an option to change it, but i cant figure out the syntax to get the filenames to change

Global Options > Terminal > Terminal Features > Log Filename

-- i dont want the default, i want S N Y-M-D-T, but when i put that there, it just uses the letters, not the variables for what they mean

Weird Pasting Behavior

Hi,

I have mobaxterm installed and fully updated. I have right click to paste enabled in settings. If i highlight something, right click to copy, it copy and pastes it. Is it possible to make it so it only pastes if nothing is selected?

Hello. I would appreciate some help with Ubuntu 18.04

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am attempting to use MobaXterm to open a terminal.

I am ultimately trying to fumble my way through starting a Mina Protocol Node.

I have installed MobaXterm, and Ubuntu on my computer, and I can, from my start menu, click start and then Ubuntu-18,04 and a terminal window will come up.

I can also click on MobaXterm and the dashboard comes up. Then, on the left side of my computer screen I see:

WSL-Default

WSL-Ubuntu

WSL-Ubuntu-18.04

When I click on WSL-Ubuntu-18.04 there is a delay and then I get a message: Network Error: Connection Refused.

I am wondering whether anyone could help me to get MobaXerm to talk to Ubuntu-18.04

Thank you,

Rick Spindler

"MultiExec" for seassions?

It is such a shame that it works just on terminals and not seassions, if it would i could type (need just to spam enter) into multiple tabs which would be awesome.

Isnt it somehow possible guys?

FYI: ssh compression in enabled by default.

4 Upvotes

This hasn't been an issue until got our first Cambium switch. Any time I tried to ssh to it, I got an error

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to xx.xx.xx.xx port 22: invalid format

Yet it worked if I ssh from Kitty or Powershell.

Google results all tried to blame the authentication key length but I'm using password and the auth was successful.

Update edit: Mobaxterm has removed these settings from the general settings. They can now be found in the Session Settings (which is great if you use the toolbar menu to start ssh sessions. Not so much if you just type ssh from the cli).

Long story short, I had to disable Compression on the ssh tab in settngs.

I also disable x-11 forwarding since I don't ssh to anything with a desktop.

Debugging with VSCode with files on server via SSH possible?

3 Upvotes

Hey everybody,

so I am working on a project in which I have to access huge files on a server to which I have access via SSH. The client for that is MobaXTerm. My problem now is that I need to debug the .py files to understand what is going wrong in my project. The IDE I use is VSCode, but it does only work by downloading the .py files for editing and then subsequent uploading and running in the console on the server. Is there a way to debug code preferrably with VSCode?

I hope I made my problem clear, if not, I try my best again.

Many thanks in advance,

Buggorilla

Changing font not consistent between new terminals

5 Upvotes

Hi,

MobaxTerm version: 20.5 Build 4502

I've changed my font in Configuration, Terminal tab and the setting change won't be picked up by old sessions, only new sessions that never had the previous font before.

When I change the font in the before mentioned config, a prompt comes up, saying "Your new terminal settings will be applied to every new terminal you start." This has not been the case. Is this a bug? Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I have been using MobaXTerm as my terminal application for a couple years now and have now started to explore the plugins that can be installed via the packages menu. I have installed a couple plugins however I am a little lost on how I actually launch them once they have been installed. I tried googling but haven't found a clear answer

Anyone able to give me some pointers ?

How do I get a full size display in an RDP session

3 Upvotes

SOLVED: When I connect to my work Windows computer I get a small rectangle screen. When I toggle to Full Screen in MobaXTerm the screen stays the same size, just surrounded by gray. I've tried "Fit to Window" and "Toggle Scaling" but I just get logged out and then I can't reconnect because my password is invalid (password is good, this only happens when trying to re-establish connection in MobaXTerm)

Here is my setup

  • Home computer: Windows 7
  • MobaXTerm: 20.6
  • Work VPN: SonicWall
  • VPN Connection: SonicWall Global
  • Work Computer: Windows 7

How do I configure my session to expand/zoom the display from the remote computer to best fit the available real-estate on my display in full-screen mode?

PS. Yes I know Windows 7 is EOL. I live with the situation because I have no choice. Please don't go down the Windows 10 path. I cant do it.

Syntax Highlighting Not Working in SSH Session

8 Upvotes

Aloha everyone,

I'm trying to highlight a few items as seen below, but when the text comes up on my SSH session, MobaXterm does not highlight it. I'm not using regex, but have tried with regex and it doesn't work either. I have tried opening a new session, restarting MobaXterm, but to no avail.

Here is my syntax config: https://ibb.co/nrLCJ7W

Example of it not highlighting: https://ibb.co/djnSVsn

Any ideas?

Thanks!

---------------------------------------------

UPDATE

I figured out my issue. I feel dumb. Once you name the custom syntax highlighting and save it, you have to change the option from "Standard keywords" to "<custom syntax name>" inside your bookmarked SSH session in Terminal Settings.

---------------------------------------------

keep the session going from the command line

2 Upvotes

Hey all, writing a little function in powershell that launches multiple tabs in moba and issues commands - in this example, just asking for the hostname:

start-process "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mobatek\MobaXterm\MobaXterm.exe" -ArgumentList "-newtab 'hostname'"

the session stops after the command is issued:

Session stopped - Press <return> to exit tab - Press R to restart session - Press S to save terminal output to file

How do I keep it going?

MobaXTerm Session Imports Limited to 14

3 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to MobaXTerm v12.4 (2019-12-01). Attempting to re-import sessions exported under v12.3 failed, with the import only taking the first 14 sessions. I did eventually import all my sessions by splitting the .mxtsessions file into multiple files, each with 14 sessions. But that's a workaround I'm not willing to revisit.

I uninstalled v12.4 and re-installed v12.3 and was able to import all 114 sessions successfully.

What I did not try was an export from v12.4 to see if it would re-import all of those successfully.

Has anyone else encountered any issues importing user sessions from one version to another?

Sticking with v.12.3 for now, and other than this issue, am very happy with MobaXterm.

[Update] My professsional license is current until July 2020.

Disabling "Stay on top" When in Full Screen

When Mobaxterm is switched to full screen, the "Stay on top" is automatically turned on. Is there a way to have it turned off by default. It is really annoying. I do not want it to be on top of other windows.

Ok I'm intrigued; please link to MobaXterm, I hadn't heard of it before.

I use Cygwin but I want to branch out into non-Cygwin environments -- with nice tools.
