First start</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once you got mRemote installed and run it for the first time you should see a
|
|
screen like on the following screenshot.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/01.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first thing that catches your attention will probably be the info box
|
|
popping up.<br />
|
|
Don't freak out just yet, this is not a error message and it's totally ok to
|
|
show up on the first run.<br />
|
|
It just tells you that the connections file could not be found at the default
|
|
location and that mRemote will create a new one for you at this location.<br />
|
|
If you click anywhere else in the application the panel will hide itself again.
|
|
(Tip: You can also hit Escape to hide the Errors and Infos panel)</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/02.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now that we now about the Errors and Infos panel take a deep breath and just
|
|
stare at the gorgeous about screen for a few seconds. =)<br />
|
|
No, seriously, to create your first connection continue reading.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="heading1">Creating Connections</span></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Right click the root item (the blue ball labeled "Connections") in the
|
|
Connections panel and select "Add Connection".</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/03.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A new item shows up under the root item. You can give it a name now (or rename
|
|
it later). I just named mine "Test".</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/04.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now have a look at the Config panel in the bottom left, just under the
|
|
Connections panel.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/05.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As you may notice this is where you configure all the properties of connections
|
|
and folders.<br />
|
|
There are a lot of values that can be set but for our first connection we will
|
|
keep things simple.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The most important things right now are that we tell the application which host
|
|
we want to connect to and which protocol we want to use.<br />
|
|
In this example I will use a Windows 2003 server that has RDP (Remote Desktop
|
|
Protocol) enabled.<br />
|
|
As RDP is the default protocol whenever you create a new connection I don't have
|
|
to change anything there.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The next thing I'll do is to fill the Hostname/IP field with the hostname I
|
|
want to connect to.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/06.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I'll also fill the Username and Password fields so I will be automatically
|
|
logged on to the server.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/07.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ok, that's it, we are ready for our first connection test.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="heading1">Opening and Closing Connections</span></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are multiple ways to open a connection in mRemote, but the easiest is to
|
|
just double-click the connection in the Connections panel.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If I do that now, a new panel named "General" with one tab inside named "Test"
|
|
will show up.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/08.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alright, mRemote is now trying to connect to the specified host.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If it cannot connect you will see a message popping up like on the following
|
|
screenshot.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/17.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This for example means the hostname cannot be resolved.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Instead, if all goes well you should see the remote desktop.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/09.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you do not want to log off from the remote machine but just close it you can
|
|
do this by simply double-clicking the tab labeled "test" or just close the whole
|
|
"General" panel by clicking the small "x" in the upper right corner.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="heading1">Folders and Inheritance</span></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Folders in mRemote cannot only be used to categorize connections but also to
|
|
apply properties to the underlying connections.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Example:</b><br />
|
|
You have 10 Remote Desktop enabled servers in one domain and 15 in another
|
|
domain.<br />
|
|
Normally you would spend a lot of time creating all those connections and
|
|
setting the individual properties like username, password, etc.<br />
|
|
In mRemote there is an easier way. You just create two folders, one for domain A
|
|
and one for domain B and set all properties there.<br />
|
|
Then create the Connections and let them inherit every property. The only
|
|
properties left to fill on Connection basis are the Connection's name and
|
|
hostname. Everything else will be inherited from the parent folder.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Sounds cool, but how to do it?"<br />
|
|
I'll show you how to do it!</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
First add a new folder.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/10.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then give it a name and fill all the properties you need (just like you did with
|
|
the test Connection).</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/11.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/12.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you're done setting the values you can either just drag the test Connection
|
|
inside the folder or create a new one.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/13.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Right now nothing has changed and nothing will be inherited.<br />
|
|
To enable inheritance switch to the inheritance view by clicking the dedicated
|
|
button.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/14.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The properties that show up now are almost the same as before, but you can only
|
|
select yes or no.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/15.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When no is selected the property will not be inherited, yes indicates an
|
|
inherited property.<br />
|
|
For this test set "Inherit Everything" to Yes.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now if you switch back to the properties view (the button left of the
|
|
inheritance button) you should see that not much is left of all those
|
|
properties.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<img alt="" src="Screenshots/Configuration/16.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Only the Name and Hostname/IP properties are left over, everything else will be
|
|
inherited from the parent folder.<br />
|
|
Of course you can also only let some of the properties be inherited.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just play around with this a bit and you'll get the hang of it.</p>
