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?

I am connecting (ssh) to my host (Mac) from my client (Windows) machine. I have X11 forwarding active.
Now, running xclock on my host opens up the clock gui window on my client as expected, but running cmake-gui does not. I can see the application gui open up on my host (through teamviewer), but it isn't shown on my client.
I was able to make it work with WSL but somehow it's not working for my iMac as host.
I can provide more details if needed. Let me know how.
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
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)
I have an xterm window open on a computer. I want to access this xterm window remotely using ssh. Is it possible? By access I mean, I should be able to run commands on that open shell.
I'm not sure if it is possible to access an xterm window that's already been opened, while being over ssh. However, you can certainly open an ssh connection with X11 forwarding capabilities. Once X11 is forwarded, you can just run the program in ssh's command line, and it'll open in your forwarded X11 screen.
Here's a good article that explains in detail what you need to accomplish this: http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html
For example, after completing the details in the above article, and assuming you have Gnome Desktop installed, you could run gnome-terminal over ssh and have a Unix terminal open and forwarded over the ssh connection. Pretty much any application that has a GUI is runnable this way.
I need to run some scripts in a windows remote machine from a terminal linux, I've tried using telnet however in the windows machine it's unable and there isn't installed a ssh server. So I need other way to run the command remotely without a graphical interface.
I have the possibility for run the command from a windows machine, however I need to open a SSH Tunnel to see the remote machine, I've used psexec but it didn't work for me.
Do you have access to install software on the remote server?
Your SSH client will not be able to connect to the remote machine unless that machine is running an SSH server to respond to your client's connection request.
There are a number of possible options for SSH servers to run on Windows.
(Google for ssh server windows)
Because SSH gives an external user some access to/control over your server it is designed to be a secure tool. I would therefore recommend using an SSH server which is still actively maintained, and keep it up to date. Servers which are old and no longer supported are are likely to contain known security issues which may never be addressed, thereby leaving your server vulnerable.
There are a number of good free open-source solutions for this, so you shouldn't need to buy anything.
In the past I've worked with Windows machines running Cygwin, with the OpenSSH ssh server installed. Depending how much of the Cygwin system you choose to install, it can make the target Windows host rather like logging into another Linux box in terms of environment.
You can download the installer for Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/
