Centralized backups

Managing a pool of computers
With MobaSSH you can list the installed programs and the hardware configuration of all your remote Windows PC in a single script. You can log on to any remote Windows PC silently (the user can stay connected: nothing is displayed on his screen) for retrieving its complete configuration. The "MobaHwInfo" and "MobaSwInfo" tools have been developed and integrated into MobaSSH in this aim.

System and network monitoring
MobaSSH allows you to check which programs/daemons are started on a remote computer, but also to monitor the network daemons. The "TCPCapture" tool lists all the current network connections and displays the IP packets that cross the network interface in real time. MobaSSH also comes with some ftp, telnet, rlogin and http clients in order to be able to test some network connections to other computers.

Remote commands
Thanks to MobaSSH, you can also perform on-demand actions on remote computers without informing the logged-on user. You can silently run commands or start some programs or scripts without the need to warn the user before. You can for example install a program on a PC without any user interaction.
