Accessing DUNE computing from Windows #17

https://dune.github.io/computing-training-basics/putty.html has a nice description of how to set up putty to access FNAL computers from Windows.

Has anyone tried mobaXterm? Far superior to PuTTy.

Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 also has native X window support now, and is often more convenient to set up and maintain. One can install some Linux version and then follow the Linux ssh instructions.

MobaXterm is a very powerful suite of network tools for Windows, which includes X11, ssh, sftp and tunneling, and much more. The free version will be enough for most people. I recently upgraded to the Pro version, which lifts the limit on how many configurations and tunnels you can use. It can also be used (of course) to access the WSL2 instances on the local machine if needed, natively.

I should have said, "more convenient than PuTTY" when talking about WSL2; I've never used MobaXterm myself.
