I need to run a program from my windows xP machine thats installed on a remote UNIX machine using MobaXterm but I have very little experience with this sort of thing.
I can login into the machine using ssh and start the program without a problem. That program needs files that I have on my windows computer to process though and I want to copy them over to that remote machine. Unfortunately the drag-and-drop file transfer panel that is mentioned regularly on mobaxterm help sites isn't present and I can't figure out how to make it appear.
Could someone suggest how to get that drag-and-drop panel to appear please? I'm using MobaXterm version 3.0.
Alternatively any explanation on how to transfer these files another way would also be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much for any help you can give.
Some Linux distributions or some other Unix systems have disabled SSH password authentication by default.
In order for MobaXterm to be able to launch the SFTP browser, you will have to re-enable this feature:
If you can not modify your remote server configuration, you can also perform your file transfers inside MobaXterm terminal using SCP. A sample SCP command would be:
scp -r /drives/c/Some/Place/On/Your/Local/Windows/Drive/ yourlogin@yourserver:/Some/Place/On/Your/Remote/Unix/Server/
