Take a look at the new entry details screen below I’ll explain each annotation:Ĭreating a RDP connection profile in RDM 11 You’re not limited to Microsoft RDP by any stretch of the imagination.

RDM 11 supports an incredible number of remote access protocols. Need to go through a VPN to manage a Filezilla SFTP server? Again, no trouble here.

As you can see in the next screenshot, Remote Desktop Manager includes native support for a jaw-dropping array of remote access protocols! Next, we click the New Entry button to define a new remote connection. The RDM 11 interface is absolutely loaded with features, so I strongly suggest that you watch Devolutions’ Getting Started videos to ease your learning curve.
