mRemoteNG is a remote connection manager for Windows that lets us organize SSH, RDP, VNC, and other protocol connections from a single interface.
Although modern Windows already includes an SSH client in Terminal and PowerShell, a graphical tool like mRemoteNG can be very convenient if we manage several Raspberry Pi boards, servers, or virtual machines.
For many years, the usual solution in Windows was to use Putty, software that allows connections via SSH, Telnet, or serial port.
Despite its popularity and simplicity, Putty falls a bit short when we have many saved connections. For those cases, mRemoteNG is much more convenient.
mRemoteNG is an Open Source development that provides a better interface and functionalities. For example, it has a tabbed interface that allows having several connections open simultaneously.
Furthermore, it allows you to conveniently store several saved connections, each with its configuration (including username and password) to quickly establish a connection with our usual devices.
It is compatible with SSH (Secure Shell), RDP (Remote Desktop/Terminal Server), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), ICA (Citrix Independent Computing Architecture), Telnet (TELecommunication NETwork), HTTP/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), rlogin, and Raw Socket Connections.
mRemoteNG is only available on Windows, and its installer can be downloaded from its website. Its code is available at this link.
In short, a very interesting and recommended tool for the many Windows users who need to connect via SSH to a system like the Raspberry Pi.
