Remmina is a GTK remote desktop client aimed at people who regularly work with remote computers, virtual machines and servers. It brings several remote access technologies into a single graphical interface instead of requiring a separate client for each protocol.
Connections can be saved as reusable profiles with settings appropriate to each protocol. A plugin architecture provides the different connection methods, while features such as Quick Connect, multi-monitor handling and kiosk operation make Remmina suitable for both occasional access and larger collections of remote systems.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports RDP, VNC, SPICE, X2Go, SSH and HTTP/HTTPS remote connections through protocol plugins.
- Provides saved connection profiles for frequently used hosts together with Quick Connect for ad-hoc sessions.
- RDP support is built around FreeRDP and includes Remote Desktop Gateway connections.
- Offers multi-monitor operation together with configurable resolution, scaling and full-screen behaviour.
- RDP sessions can redirect resources including folders, printers, smartcards, audio, microphones and serial devices.
- Supports SSH tunnelling for compatible protocols and can make use of settings from SSH configuration files.
- VNC options include view-only operation, clipboard synchronization, colour-depth selection and image-quality controls.
- SPICE sessions can provide audio, clipboard synchronization, shared folders and smartcard sharing.
- Provides a kiosk mode for systems dedicated to remote desktop access.
- The plugin architecture separates protocol implementations from the main client and allows additional functionality to be integrated.
