Remote desktop client that remembers settings
Remote desktop client that remembers settings
My company is moving to RDP, and I'm glad that Puppy has an Remote Desktop client built in, but it's annoying to have to enter my settings every time I start it. I'm using the Remote Desktop RDP client, as the entry "Rdesktop RDP client" does nothing when I click on it.
Is there an RDP client for Puppy that will save my settings?

...or, alternatively, a way to make the existing RDP client recall settings?Brian C wrote:Is there an RDP client for Puppy that will save my settings?
I'm in the same canoe as Brian C. I use RDP client all the time to access work from home, where I am often doing development work. I prefer accessing everything from Puppy these days, but putting the settings in every time, while not difficult, does wear a bit thin after a while.
BTW, Brian, I think you'll find that Rdesktop is the engine that is driven by Remote Desktop. One won't work without the other.

Here is what I do:Brian C wrote:Is there an RDP client for Puppy that will save my settings?
For example. Assuming that you want to connect to a server called "devserver":
1. Create a text file with the name of your connection. e.g. devserver. The name is not important it will just be a mnemonic for you.
2. Open that file with a text editor such as geany or leafpad and put the rdesktop command there. for example:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
rdesktop -g 1024x768 devserver -K
Code: Select all
rdesktop -g 800x600 10.100.56.189 -K
Code: Select all
chmod +x devserver
Thats it. Actually I have a folder with one script per server I connect to.
To see all the different options you can use in that command, open an rxvt console and type
Code: Select all
rdesktop -h

Thanks, rarsa. I remember this discussion from an earlier thread but I couldn't find it again. I've marked this one for later use now.rarsa wrote:To see all the different options you can use in that command, open an rxvt console and typeCode: Select all

Much appreciated.
Dumb bunny
Ok, I've got everything I need sorted EXCEPT how to set up RDP client so my local drives are available.
I've tried various permutations of the -r option to no avail. Guess I'm just a dumb bunny. Anyone using this who can let me know the correct syntax?
All help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Nope, that won't work. Here is my working syntax:Brian C wrote:I'm having trouble getting the commands to work. When I enter them, the terminal spits out the same output as when I do "rdesktop -h". Here's what I'm trying:
rdesktop -u:user -p:password server:port
Code: Select all
rdesktop -f -a 16 servername -u username -p password
Hope that helps, Brian.

Just FYI...
I worked yesterday on improving the remotedesktop GUI.
I didn't have time for the final touches but here is the changelog. This is the time for your wish list:
- Cleaned up the interface a little bit: Use a clean header image, aligned entry fields, Reduced and fixed the size of the window
- Added the option to save and load a profile.
Things that I may add if there is the interest:
- Keep a list of the most recent profiles used for easy access
- Ability to specify a default profile
I hope I'll finish it tonight.

I'd appreciate if you can test the improved RemoteDesktopClient and give me your opinion.

sorta kinda got it with one noob question
Ok so I opened a terminal windows, typed in the instrauctions
rdesktop -f -a 16 servername -u username -p password
(with appropiate parameters) hit enter and it worked like a charm.
So I opened leafpad, copied the line into there and saved it with the filename of the terminal server.
What now, how do I make it executable? I know this thread mentions chmod but where to I input that? Do I need anything else in my script or just this command?

Gee I might just be getting the hang of this
Ok so I managed to figure out the chmod thing, navigate to the folder where the script was, right click and select Window>Open Terminal Here then run the chmod script.
Ran the now exectueable file with no extra stuff in it, just the one line and it connected with no problems at all.

Lupu rdp client?
So its 3 years on and were upgrading our linux boxes to lupu but I see no RDP client.
Is there one that I've missed or do I have to go get one?
