The Best Microsoft SQL Server GUI Tool for Mac - TablePlus May 22, 2018 TablePlus provides a native MS SQL Server client on Mac that provides GUI tools with an intuitive interface to help you create, query, edit and save your Microsoft SQL Server databases in a very fast and secure way. At Codinn we made a couple of GUI tools to make using ssh effortless. Those tools helped ourselves, and may also help you. Those tools helped ourselves, and may also help you. Core Shell is a PuTTY alike tool with lots of extra features. SSHKeychain is a graphical front-end for ssh-agent and ssh-add on Mac OS X. Features include: Can remove all keys from the agent after sleep or after a minimum period of sleep (especially useful for notebooks). SAP GUI for Java works fine on my Mac (using 7.40 rev6 at this moment). However, I do not use it very often anymore, as the specific tasks I need to do, are now mostly exposed through HTML5-based SAP backends.

It is common for users of the SoIC Linux systems to want to run graphical applications (such as matlab, mathematica, eclipse, etc) on these Linux servers and display them on their local computers. This document details the steps required to do this for Mac, Windows, and Linux systems.

Install XQuartz on your Mac, which is the official X server software for Mac
Run Applications > Utilities > XQuartz.app
Right click on the XQuartz icon in the dock and select Applications > Terminal. This should bring up a new xterm terminal windows.
In this xterm windows, ssh into the linux system of your choice using the -X argument (secure X11 forwarding). For example, to log into hulk.soic.indiana.edu you would run something like:
ssh -Y username@hulk.soic.indiana.edu
Once you are logged into the linux system, you can just run the GUI program of your choice (ie. matlab, mathematics, etc) and it will display on your Mac.

Install the Xming software.
If you have not already done so, download putty.exe from the PuTTY site and install it.
Run Xming on your PC to start the X server. You should see the Xming icon in the taskbar if it is running (although you may have to click the little arrow in the taskbar to see it)
Run PuTTY and set things up as follows:
- Enter the server name in Host Name
- Make sure the Connection type is set to SSH
- Enable X11 forwarding (Connection > SSH > X11)
Log in using your normal IU username and passphrase
Once you are logged into the linux system, you can just run the GUI program of your choice (ie. matlab, mathematics, etc) and it will display on your PC.

ssh into the linux system of your choice using the -Y argument (secure X11 Forwarding). For example, to log into hulk.soic.indiana.edu you would run something like:
ssh -Y username@hulk.soic.indiana.edu
Once you are logged into the remote linux system, you can just run the GUI program of your choice (ie. matlab, mathematics, etc) and it will display on your Mac.

It is also possible to run graphical programs remotely using VNC. This is a popular tool that lets you run a VNC server on the remote linux server and connect to it using a VNC client on your local system. There is more information about this option in Using VNC via ssh tunneling.

If you have an account on the Carbonate system you can also use Research Desktop (RED) at IU. This allows you to get a graphical desktop on the Carbonate system and, from there, you could use 'ssh -Y' to connect to some other remote linux system and run your GUI programs from there.

The methods listed above are recommended because they put the least amount of load on the servers and should provide adequate performance. However, there is an alternate method using RDP (Remote Desktop) that will work on some of our Linux servers. For those systems you can connect using the native Remote Desktop client (Windows), the Microsoft Remote Desktop App (Mac OS X), or either xfreerdp or rdesktop (Linux). You will get a full GUI desktop using this method so you can start any GUI application you need. The downside of this approach is that since you are running a full GUI desktop it puts much more load on the server and your performance may suffer. For that reason, we urge you to use the above OS-specific methods and only use RDP as a last resort if those do not work for you.

I used to use WinSCP to log into my remote server. I need to login with an ssh key and move the files from and to the remote server. So far I have not find any tool with the same features for MacOS.

Any ideas? It doesn't need to be free.

I just used Fugu to copy files from ssh server to a samba share, and it works great.

Fugu can also be installed using brew cask install fugu from Homebrew Cask (not the one from Homebrew itself).

And for me the SSH connection is easier to setup in Fugu compared to cyberduck.

I know this question is old. WinSCP 5+ works well in Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) - MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) with Wine 3+.

A word to the wise on using either Cyberduck or Firefox to transfer files. If you copy a file and OS X complains about it being damaged, it is likely that the quarantine extended attribute has been set. To remove it from a file: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine fileinquestion
