"MobaXterm is an enhanced terminal for Windows with an X11 server, a tabbed SSH client and several other network tools for remote computing (VNC, RDP, telnet, rlogin). MobaXterm brings all the essential Unix commands to Windows desktop, in a single portable exe file which works out of the box."[1]

Installation
To install MobaZterm for Windows, simply go to the download link above. Because of the frequency with which you are likely to use MobaXterm, you will likely want to create a quick-launch icon for it as well as a desktop icon.
Use
MobaXterm contains both the terminal window and the x-server; no second program is required to have graphics sent over to your PC from a remote host. As a result, all you need to do is:
- Start MobaXterm
- Type:
ssh -XY NETID@machine.oit.duke.edu
where NETID is your NET ID and machine is the teer (or other machine) you want to connect to.
Connecting
Note that if you have connected to this machine before, the terminal window will open. If not, you will get a Security Alert message. Unless you believe there has been a security problem, you can click Yes to both add the host to your list of approved hosts and continue on the the terminal window.
Troubleshooting
None as yet.
