Securing your mRemoteNG connectionsĪs I already mentioned earlier, secure your connections is important. Each connection opens in a new tab allowing you to easily switch between the different connections. The interface is nice and clean, with one the left side the connections, which you can structure in folders, and below it the connection details. So you really have one tool to manage all your devices. MRemoteNG supports a lot of remote connection protocols:

The connections are stored in an XML file which you can easily share with your colleagues. I have been using this tool and its predecessor mRemote for more than 10 years now. My favourite remote desktop connection manager is mRemoteNG. So make sure you check for this option and apply to your connection file. Luckily some password manager allow for intergration with a password manager or have the ability to encrypt and/or password protect the connection file. You will have to get the password from the password manager first, not really convient. If somebody gain access to the file they could connect to every important server of network device in your network without any problem.īut not storing the password in the remote desktop manager results in an additional handling before you can login. It’s important that the connection file is protected and encrypted. Storing the password to every server or network device in your remote connection manager is a risk. Last couple of years we are encouraged to use password managers and create a strong password. One of the discussions you see online a lot if you should store passwords in the Remote Desktop Connection Manager or not. I have more than 50 connection in my remote desktop connection manager and I shared the connection file with my colleague, so keeping the connections ordered is a must. But creating a folder structure, based on location or device type really helps finding the right connection fast.

When you start using the application you might be temped to just save the connections in one folder. Using a Remote Desktop ManagerĮvery remote desktop manager supports using folders to create a structure. Having all these tools in one application makes it really easy to manage your servers and network. It also supports other comment protocols, like SSH, Telnet and VNC. A remote desktop manager stores the connection information and allows you to open multiple connections.Ī good remote desktop manager does not only allow you to store and manage RDP connections.

If you need to manage a lot of servers and/or network devices then a good remote desktop connection manager can make your work a lot easier.
