This would be particularly useful in situations where you are monitoring several similar sessions such as clusters or your own personalized Xshell Tab Groups. With Xshell you can customize which sessions will receive keystrokes or your text input at any given time. Locate the text input bar at the…
How to Transfer Files Directly Between Servers using FXP Direct server to server files transfer requires FXP (File eXchange Protocol). It transfers files from the source server to the destination server without saving files to a local storage. FXP is vulnerable to open FTP bounce attacks and in many cases it is disabled by default. To enable FXP for your FTP server, please check the system manual. Once FXP is enabled, open Xftp and connect to destination and source servers….

Last time we discussed accessing remote hosts via Secure XDMCP. But what if your server has insufficient memory and you only need to run certain X applications, not an entire desktop environment. Using Xmanager, you can utilize the X11 forwarding of the SSH protocol to securely run X applications. The SSH protocol not only secures the X11 connection but also makes it easy to connect to X applications beyond the NAT gateway, so a user from a private IP network…
