MobaXterm is a set of network tools included in a single portable exe file. MobaXterm integrates an X server and several network clients (SSH, RDP, VNC, telnet, rlogin, sftp, and ftp) accessible through a tab-based terminal. MobaXterm also integrates a complete set of Unix commands.
A swiss-army knife of Linux core-tools - for windows

Pros
Tabbed window for managing all your remote connections as well as local shells.
TinyBox emulates Linux on windows without the hassle of installing packages.
Pramatic tool; tweakable; under active development; great for students.
Cons
Personal edition customization is limited.
Summary
Get it, it's simplifies the hell out of connecting to Servers as well as helping others do likewise. Being able to do "Linux" commands on the fly, without hassle, is very handy.
The ultimate network tool!

Pros
- SSH sessions made easy (passwords saving, automatic tunneling, ...)
- Graphical files transfer using SFTP browser
- Embedded X server
Cons
I wish the professional edition was given for free too!
Summary
MobaXterm is really convenient, especially when you have multiple SSH servers to reach, files to transfer and graphical applications to launch remotely, and when you care about security.
For my personal need, the free edition provides enough functions, but I am considering purchasing the pro edition in order to customize it ;-)
Installs malware

Pros
Possibly the program works well?
Cons
I thought CNET was a trusted download source, but apparently not. This exe installed three programs and a bunch of Chrome add-ons. Disgusting. Go to their real website.
Summary
Good features with stability issues

Pros
I like all the features it provides, especially the fact that I can scroll in vim using the mouse!
Cons
Stuck after running for a day or so. It becomes unresponsive and seems to cause issue with windows (7). This happens with version 6.1. I have not tried older verdions yet!
Summary
Good if you dont leave it running overnight, which for me is a deal breaker since I often run scripts overnight.
Excellent colourful multi utility tool

Pros
xterm, built in cgywin (unix like interface on windows) so i do not have to use cmd; i could run find, grep, vi to open dos file under windows.
Cons
not major,cannot have different colours for different unix terminal, helps identify production server vs developement with colouring as in putty. cannot run multiple instances on the machine, cannot tear out tab; helpful during dev on multi monitors.
Summary
for a free version i cannot ask for more so i have given 4*'s.
product has not crashed, very solid. definitely worth a try.
Simple and powerfull. Download and run.

Pros
No installation needed, fast and stable. You can carry it in your pendrive and use it at any computer. The X server works fine.
