I use mremote daily at work. I run ubuntu on one of my computers at home. I think this may give me the functionality that I have been missing with the rdesktop client.
I’m using Remmina about 2 months.
This is a great tool.
I have about 20 servers to managage, I use different connection options for them so it makes about 50 different connections – remmina is the tool I was looking for very long (KDE has KRDC but gnome just simple terminal services klient)
Mremote?
This is windows software…
Do you run this on ubuntu?
I also use Remmina almost every day at work. I have to connect to many different customers’ computers and servers and this piece of software lets me keep all of those connections very organized. Highly recommended!
So does this only support opening SFTP connections to servers and not SSH terminals?
will this work on ubuntu 8.04.x ?
@Matt: You’re right. For ssh terminal sessions, you may want to try sshmenu and it’s applet sshmenu-gnome. It is really great!
I need an open source application similar to secureCRT for connecting to linux servers and has the capability of saving user name and password.
Ahmed,
Check out PAC.

I like the look of this … pretty similar to Gnome-RDP … but some nicer options. One suggestion: in windowed mode, there should be a way to hide that huge toolbar …. takes up too much realestate in my view. If it could hide like it does in full screen mode, that would be the bomb!
How can you pass command line options to Remmina. Like rdesktop supports: rdesktop -u username -p password. I want it to open a new tab everytime
Remmina is great. Is there a way to save ssh password in it ?
I want to login with just one click
@Rozliczanie nfz: If you want instant ssh connections without typing passwords, put your public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the remote account. That way you will be able to authenticate without password with remmina as well as any other method. Of course, your ssh key may have a passphrase which may be cached by ssh-agent.
@Ahmed: Secure CRT is now available (as beta) for Linux.
Currently I have installed Remmina on Ubuntu 10 version, I have problem with sound audio, the sound was comes shortly and disappeared.
anyone can help me for this problem.
Thanks
