The Connection Settings tab includes settings to customize how a session is connected and what happens upon logon. You can specify whether the console session should be connected to as well as the remote desktop connection port. There are also settings that allow you to run a program upon connection.
Enter the program name and, optionally, the working directory for that program. Note that these only have an effect if you are connecting to the console session for the first time. That is, reconnecting to a session or connecting to a session other than the console session will not run the program. At least, this is how Terminal Services appears to work based on empirical observation.
The size of the remote desktop is specified on this page. This is the logical desktop size, not the physical client view of it. For example, if the remote desktop size is x and client size is x , you would see a x view of the remote desktop with scroll bars.
If the client size were x , the entire remote desktop would be visible, offset by a gray border. Specifying "Same as client area" will make the remote desktop the same size as the RDCMan client panel, i. Specifying "Full screen" will make the remote desktop the same size as the screen that the server is viewed on.
Note that the remote desktop size is determined upon connecting to a server. Changing this setting for a connected server will have no effect. The maximum size of the remote desktop is determined by the version of the remote desktop activeX control.
Version 5 pre-Vista had a maximum of x ; Version 6 Vista has a maximum of x This limit is enforced at connection time, not during data entry. This is in case the same RDCMan file is shared by multiple computers. Various resources of the remote server may be delivered to the client.
The remote computer sound can be played locally, played remotely, or disabled entirely. Client drive, port, printer, smart card, and clipboard resources can be automatically shared to the remote machine. You can specify whether authentication of the remote machine is required before a connection is established. The first option is: thumbnail scale.
This specifies how many thumbnail units to allocate to the display of a given server. All servers default to a scale of 1. You can change this to increase the display of important servers. For example, a server could be scaled by 3 or 5 making the remote session quite usable in the thumbnail display while still permitting a view of many other servers. This is the only option for servers. There are three additional options for groups: preview session in thumbnail, allow thumbnail session interaction, and show disconnected thumbnails.
The first whether or not the thumbnail view shows the actual live connection, continually updated. The second, dependent on the first, specifies whether the thumbnail session is usable. The final option controls whether disconnected servers appear in the thumbnail view.
Personal certificates of the current user which have a private key are available for encryption. You can create such a certificate in the following manner:. To install this cert on another computer, you must export it with the private key. RDCMan has limited support for managing remote sessions other than those connected from it. The [Session. List Sessions] menu item invokes the feature. Note that the account running RDCMan must have Query Information permissions on the remote server to list the sessions.
Furthermore, the remote session must be directly reachable rather than via a gateway server. Disconnect and Logoff permissions must be granted to perform those operations.
See msdn for more information on remote desktop permissions. By default, RDCMan will open the files that were loaded at the time of the last program shutdown. You can override this by specifying a file or files explicitly on the RDCMan command line. Additionally, the following switches are accepted:.
Find servers command. All servers matching a regular expression pattern are displayed in the dialog and can be acted on via a context menu. Credential profiles store logon credentials globally to RDCMan or in a file. Description Remote Desktop Manager is a small application used to manage all your remote connections and virtual machines.
Add, edit, delete, shared, organize and find your remote connection quickly. Remote Desktop Manager is a powerful program. It allows you to connect, interact, manage and access computers from other locations. By using this program, you will be easy to use or control a computer remotely as if you were sitting in front of it. You should always protect your private key with a passphrase. Great point. I've updated the article to reinforce the importance of a passphrase on the key itself.
Then you can run any X-based program from the remote machine, and the windows show up on your local machine.
Instead of specifying the sshkey in the commandline, you can use ssh-agent: First associate the key just once with the agent. Great workflow. I like to teach the manual way first so it feels less "magical" plus I use -i a lot because I have unique keys for different hosts. But I like your method, too.

Terminology When discussing more than one computer, it can be confusing to identify one from the other.
Service: A service is software that runs in the background so it can be used by computers other than the one it's installed on. For instance, a web server hosts a web-sharing service. The term implies but does not insist that it's software without a graphical interface. Host: A host is any computer. In IT, computers are called a host because technically any computer can host an application that's useful to some other computer. You might not think of your laptop as a "host," but you're likely running some service that's useful to you, your mobile, or some other computer.
Local: The local computer is the one you or some software is using. Every computer refers to itself as localhost , for example. Remote: A remote computer is one you're not physically in front of nor physically using. It's a computer in a remote location. Now that the terminology is settled, you can begin.
