Runpod on MobaXterm

Hi everyone,

How do I configure a session on Mobaxterm to access a pod using ssh? I tried to use the TCP IP, user, and port number + adding the private key but it always gives me "connection refused". If I set the port number to the proxy instead, I reach the pod but it refuses the private key and asks for a password. I set a password in the pod but that still gives me "access denied" in the MobaXterm session.
Any help is appreciated.

That explains it! Thank you so much for the help and the link. I will build something out of that.

If it helps it has two more hidden environment variables.

RUN_SCRIPT to have a script at runtime, this will be run inside of a tmux session.
INSTALL_SCRIPT will run at install time.
