Note: After you change your NAS password, you might have to remove your old password stored in MobaXterm before you can enter the new password when prompted. Once you are connected to the SFE, you can use the Linux command line to ssh into a PFE or LFE. You will be prompted for only the RSA SecurID passcode. Option: If you have set up public key authentication between your local Windows system and the SFEs, before you click OK you can provide the path to your public key file (id_rsa) in the Advanced SSH settings tab, as shown below. Click OK, and enter your NAS password and your RSA SecurID passcode when prompted.In the Specify username field, enter your NAS username. In the Remote host field, enter the full hostname of an SFE.In the Session settings window (shown below), select the SSH tab by clicking the SSH icon in the top menu.

Click the Session icon in the top left corner of the initial window (or use Ctrl-Shift-N).Method 1: Creating a New SSH Session to Connect to an SFEĬomplete these steps to create a new SSH session to connect to a secure front end (SFE). If you have SSH Passthrough set up, you can connect directly to a PFE or LFE using Method 2.

If you do not have SSH Passthrough set up, use Method 1 to first connect to a secure front end (SFE), then log into a Pleiades or Lou front end (PFE or LFE). You can download them here: Connecting to NAS Systems If a full software installation is not possible, you can use the standalone version (Portable Edition).Ī paid version (MobaXterm Professional) is also available. If you have admin privileges on your local system, you can install a full version (Installer Edition) with Start menu support. MobaXterm Home Edition is available for free, and should be sufficient for most users. It cannot be used for remote transfers utilizing the Secure Unattended Proxy ( SUP) with Shift or other commands. Note: MobaXterm is only useful if you are using SSH to connect to NAS systems. You can also use it to create VNC sessions. MobaXterm includes a built-in X11 client, and has the ability to forward X11 from NAS systems back to your local system. You can use MobaXterm to connect from your local Windows system to NAS systems via SSH, as an alternative to Cygwin/OpenSSH.
