Mobaxterm equivalent for mac users

Hi Folks, Is there a mobaxterm equivalent for mac users? Have folks been able to successfully use their mac machines for doing work on devcloud for RTL work and test out on FPGA? I am a MAC user ...

I have found an alternate source for the x2goclient executable for mac that seems to work.

https://code.x2go.org/releases/

I installed the 10_13 version.

Hi,

Yes, DevCloud platform does support MAC OS.

Have you tried to follow the steps in the Dev Cloud platform? The setup does allow MAC users to connect as well.

Here is the snippet of the instructions:

Welcome, please follow the next 4 steps to get your environment up and running.

Step 1: Download SSH Client

Windows with MobaXtermNote: Make sure to download the Home installer edition, not the portable edition.

Alternatives:

Windows* with Cygwin (preferred)
Linux* or macOS (SSH client)

Please follow the steps and let me know if you have any issues with it.

Hi Hazlina,

I have been able to do the following already:

ssh and do scp with my xterm on the MAC.
source devcloudLoginToolSetup.sh
run the devcloud_login command

I have the following questions regarding step 3)

What does PAC compilation mean?
What does RTL AFU mean?

Secondly, How do I install tcsh? It does not seem that tcsh is installed by default.
