What mRemoteNG is
mRemoteNG is a free, open-source Windows application for managing remote connections in tabs. It supports RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, HTTP and HTTPS, rlogin, raw sockets, PowerShell remoting, and AnyDesk. Connection lists can be imported from XML or CSV files, Active Directory, or port scans, then exported as XML or CSV for sharing or backup. Its SSH file-transfer tool uses SFTP or SCP through an encrypted tunnel, and port forwarding is supported. The project lists Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, and 2022. Downloads include MSI and ZIP packages for stable and preview channels, plus x64 and ARM64 nightly builds. mRemoteNG is released under GNU GPL v2. SQL storage through MSSQL or MySQL is documented as early beta and not intended for production use.
Good
- Tabbed sessions organize multiple remote connections
- Supports RDP, SSH, VNC, and more
- Imports connections from files, Active Directory, or scans
- Exports settings for sharing or backup
- SFTP and SCP transfer files over SSH
Watch out
- Windows-focused; no other platform is listed
- SQL connection storage is early beta
- Older versions below 1.77.2 may have SSH issues
- Proprietary RFB 4.0+ support is unlikely
Who it suits
mRemoteNG suits Windows users who manage varied remote protocols from one tabbed interface. It is useful for administrators needing import, export, SFTP, or port-forwarding options.
Verdict
mRemoteNG offers broad protocol coverage and practical connection-management tools at no cost. Its Windows support and documented beta or compatibility limits matter for specialized deployments.
