MobaSSH is a free SSH server for Windows, compatible with any ssh client (OpenSSH client, Putty etc.). MobaSSH comes with an easy to use installer and some useful GNU utilities for monitoring and managing a remote computer silently.

Pros: MobaSSH allows you to administer your Windows computers in the same way you would do for Unix/Linux environments: MobaSSH comes with the most useful GNU utilities in order to use the same administration scripts on heterogeneous operating systems. Thus it’d be a good administrative tool in a mixed environment. MobaSSH is a free SSH server for Windows, compatible with any ssh client (OpenSSH client, Putty etc.). MobaSSH comes with an easy to use installer and some useful GNU utilities for monitoring and managing a remote computer silently: bash, grep, gawk, top, vmstat, rsync, vim, etc. MobaSSH is packaged in a small single executable that registers as a Windows service so that it can be monitored like other normal Windows services. MobaSSH will help you administrate / monitor / backup your Windows computers as you would do with Linux/Unix ones.

MobaSSH allows you to backup automatically your Windows computers on a centralized server. The backup files can be compressed, copied and pasted on a network drive or a backup tape. The same backup scripts for your Windows and Linux/Unix computers will work. The administrator can log on to any remote Windows PC silently for retrieving its complete configuration.

It’d be possible to check which programs/daemons are started on a remote computer as 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. One 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 and can easily transfer files from a computer to another through an encrypted secure connection.

Cons: While many of these facilities help monitor a network and the usage of resources, the very stealthy way these are done by the program raises privacy and ethical questions.

Overall: The program is capable but the negatives are string too. I’d assign no more than 3 star rating to the package.
