If you haven't installed it recently, it would probably be a good idea to uninstall MobaXterm and reinstall it. The current version is 25.2.

I have had good experience with the portable (non-installed) version as well.

Dear Nedimcan,

In response to your email today, I’ll continue providing assistance through the forum, as it may benefit others experiencing the same issue.

Since you've switched from your old PC to a new one, the most likely issue is with SSH key-based authentication — not being properly referenced. I can confirm that your SSH key is available on the HPC portal. However, I recommend checking whether the key exists on your current PC by running "ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa" in MobaXterm or a terminal. If the key (id_rsa) is missing — as might be the case on a new PC — you’ll need to either copy it from your old PC or generate a new one. Please ensure that the key on your PC matches the one uploaded to the HPC portal. Also, ensure the key is correctly added in MobaXterm’s settings. 

Best regards,
Ayesha
