Windows Subsytem Linux with MobaXterm: How configure the SFTP pan - windows-subsystem-for-linux

I have install the Windows Subsystem Linux on my Windows Computer and install Ubuntu on it.
To have a better view of the system, i use MobaXterm as client for the WSL, but i can't have the SFTP pan on it.
I want to upload some files or programs from my Windows PC into the WSL but i don't know how to do it.
I read somewhere that I need to configure a SSH tunnel between my Windows PC and the WSL to allow the drag and drop SFTP pan.
Someone can explain me how to do it ? (I'm new in the computer fields).
Thanks in advances

Remote access to a Jetson Nano

I am trying to remotely access a Jetson Nano from my mac. So far I have done the following:
I installed microsoft Remote Desktop on my mac
I connected the nano with my mac through the Micro-usb Port
In network I could see the connection "linux for Tegra" where my nano would be 192.168.55.1
With this I still cannot remote access the nano
So I open a terminal and typed
>ssh username#192.168.55.1
and I could access the nano terminal.
So I think now, I have to do
>sudo apt install xrdp
in order to be able to remotely access the GUI.
However, the nano does not have internet connection.
Is there a way that it can use the internet connection of my mac to do this?
(I am reading a tutorial on Rasppi with windows and apparently this is possible)
One of the approaches is to install X server for mac and then use ssh -Y username#192.168.55.1. You will get the command line shell first but you can type in commands like gedit - they windows will show up on the host.
192.168.55.1 is the same network as any other. All tools supposed to work over TCP/IP should work with it as well.
USB is a Serial connection by default.
On windows use a putty based tool.
For example start with MobaXterm > New session > Serial #11500
Login
Password
It won't forward internet by default.
Best simple way is to plug in your phone as USB network sharing and plug in to the laptop via micro-USB.
For Linux, Ubuntu, use a serial ("COM" related stuff) tool.
If you want to do ssh through USB it will require custom editing of networking file.
By default Nano is using a bridge called L4TBRO on 192.168.55.1, laptop is client in .100.
DNS server is on Nano's side.
You would have to create a new interface but using your laptop as DCHP and DNS servers.
Note that usb can power the Jetson Nano for continuous execution on a recent laptop. Some recommends not to and it may crash if you run a compilation on all cores. (if it crashes, just disable 2 cores via nvpmodel -m 1)

Access picamera from SSH and VNC on Windows

I read in the Raspberry Pi Official Documentation that you cannot preview the picamera using SSH and VNC. The doc states:
Note that the camera preview only works when a monitor is connected to
the Pi, so remote access (such as SSH and VNC) will not allow you to
see the camera preview.
But, I have googled and I have found a tweak to preview picamera on PC running on Ubuntu. Here is the link. The tutorial uses NetCat on Ubuntu.
I cannot find NetCat for my Windows machine. Is there any way possible to do what I want on Windows.
Yes! On your raspberry pi install xRDP
sudo apt-get install xrdp
Then log in from your Windows and open Remote Desktop Connection/Viewer and proceed.
Note: it is vital to update and upgrade packages first. Also ensure you have the latest firmware.

How can I open the desktop GUI on my virtual machine in Bluemix?

I am running a virtual machine in Bluemix and want to open the OS's desktop GUI. How do I do this? Thanks for your help.
I've edited your question to what I think you're asking: How can I open the desktop GUI on my virtual machine in Bluemix?
Assuming I understand the question correctly:
To open the desktop GUI on a remote virtual machine, use Virtual Network Computing (VNC). This solution is not specific to Bluemix; it'll work with a VM running on any platform, as long as the VM is running an OS that supports VNC.
To use VNC, you need to have a VNC server running in your VM's OS. You will then run a VNC client (a.k.a. viewer) on your computer to display the VM's desktop. The specific instructions depend on the OS running in the VM and on your computer.
For example, assuming your VM is running Ubuntu v14.04, these resources explain what to do (and a search will find other resources):
"How to Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 14.04" -- Installs XFCE4 as the VNC server
"How To Install And Configure VNC On Ubuntu 14.04" -- Also installs XFCE4.
"How to Install VNC Server on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" -- Installs TightVNC as the VNC server
For a VNC client, I actually connect to remote VMs via a local VM running Ubutu 14.04, so I use Vinagre (a.k.a. the Remote Desktop Viewer app). Options listed by other authors include TightVNC, RealVNC, or UltraVNC.
Good luck and thanks for using Bluemix.
From what I understand, you need some remote desktop tool to get to the UI of the OS of your virtual machine. Some tools available: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/7-of-the-best-linux-remote-desktop-clients-716346

A good SSH client to open Gnome/KDE desktop sessions from Windows machines?

I'm using MobaXterm to open a Gnome desktop session on a remote system from my Windows 7 workstation with SSH and X11 forwarding. It all works very well, the remote machine is a calculation cluster that runs on CentOS. The only drawback is that MobaXterm doesn't seem to catch keyboard shortcuts like "alt+tab", which gets really annoying on the long run.
Is there another SSH client that would allow me to do what I'm doing now but with keyboard shortcut recognition?

dokan sshfs for windows

I read an article here about dokan sshfs for windows. I want to ask if you know similar software (free or not) in order to access windows partitions from windows. Samba is a always an answer, however I am seeking for something more secure.
You can use the Dokan SSHFS client with the OpenSSH server for Windows, you can configure OpenSSH like you would on UNIX, then use the Dokan SSH client to connect remotely, just as you would do on UNIX with sshfs.
When you say Samba, so you mean SMB? Samba is the *NIX client/server for SMB.
SSHFS for accessing Windows partitions from Windows ? Did you by any chance mean Linux partitions from windows ?
If windows-windows, then sorry, no. sshfs is a Linux/Unix feature, and microsoft does all it can to NOT make it work on Windows (after all, that would allow to easily and securely migrate from Windows to Linux). On Windows, you use WebDAV to accomplish similar things, needless to say WebDAV is way more insecure than sshfs.
If you meant accessing remote Linux partitions from Windows, then I had the same problem before:
Dokan doesn't work, at least not on Vista x64. (epic bluescreen crash)
The java sshfs explorer on sourceforge doesn't work, either.
Microsoft's services for unix (including sshfs) are only available on Vista 'Ultimate', not on < Ultimate, like my Vista business for example.
There are some commercial solutions, but first, they are way overpriced, and second, I wouldn't trust them, since they don't offer evaluation.
My solution was to install VirtualBox on Windows, and install an Ubuntu guest on it, mounting the host's C drive. You need to set the VirtualBox network adapter to bridged mode to make sshfs work with virtualization. I'm sorry, but so far that's the only free solution that really works...
imdisk driver, see if http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html helps.
From the documentation
It is even possible to boot a machine
with NTFS partitions using a Unix
Live-CD and use the included devio
tool to let ImDisk on another computer
running Windows on the network mount
the NTFS partition on the machine you
booted with the Unix Live-CD. This way
you can recover information and even
run chkdsk on drives on machines where
Windows does not boot.
I've been using Win SSHFS for awhile, is this what you're looking for?
https://github.com/Foreveryone-cz/win-sshfs/
It runs on top of Dokany
