Windows Terminal Services Client
My friend Dudu Shmaya uploaded to CodePlex a utility that he and I developed together (He did most of the work, I only did the hacks that made it work just a little better..;-))
The project is a multi-tab terminal services (RDP) client that is very simple yet powerful (That’s a standard line in marketing brochures for utilities).
Highlights:
- Intuitive and simple UI.
- Manage all your connections in a single location.
- Allows you to define a group of connections, so you can easily connect to multiple sessions in a click.
- Grab Input – when you click inside a terminal window, all input is automatically redirected to that terminal, so key like ALT+TAB and the “Windows” key work as expected. Click anywhere outside the terminal window to return the control to the host (If you’re a VMWare user – you know how this feature works).
- Supports command line parameters to directly open a connection when it starts.
- Supports a Full Screen mode where the terminal window gets all the screen but moving the mouse to the upper part of the screen still shows the tabs toolbar.
- More to come soon..

By the way, If you’re using TFS, you might want to read Dudu’s blog. Don’t be fooled by the name of his blog, He’s actually a very smart guy – The name is just an internal joke.

Eyal,
I just found this project and it’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been wanting kudos!

I prefer Royal TS from code4ward (http://www.code4ward.net ). It’s shareware but nice and stable. If you just need to manage RDP connections, Royal TS is one of the best out there!

I am curious to know if this Windows Terminal Services Client supports internet connection via a proxy server in the client side. As I know MS RDP client does not support that. But in reality, some companies access internet through a proxy server; in such situation, if a client try to connect to a remote desktop located outside of the company, RDP will never work. I am not sure if this utility can resolve this problem.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
– Jim
