All options should be familiar to anyone who uses that protocol frequently, e.g. When manually creating a connection you are given the choice of the aforementioned protocols and, depending on the protocol that you choose, you will have a different set of options to choose from. Terminals is capable of creating connections using RDP, VNC, VMRC, Telnet, SSH1, SSH2, ICA Citrix, RAS and HTTP sessions. Here’s what the basic interface looks like (remember, you can click the images for a full-sized view): However, you have the option of having any connection that you create open in either Terminal’s tab system or within a separate window. Terminals 1.7e is all about storing multiple remote connections of varying types and arranging them by tags or in groups and then allowing you to mange numerous simultaneous open sessions via an interface similar to tabbed web browsers. Let me take you on a tour of its many capabilities. Would I need to run it in compatibility mode? Or even XP virtual mode?įortunately, after extensive tire-kicking, Terminals 1.7e seems to behave every bit as good on Windows 7 as it did on Vista. Imagine my trepidation after I installed the Windows 7 RC and began testing to see if Terminals 1.7e worked well with the new Windows or not.

One of the biggest timesavers in my workday is an open source application named Terminals from Microsoft’s open source project hosting site, CodePlex. As an administrator who primarily supports users and computers in distant places, I have come to appreciate anything that can make working with remote systems easier.
