Remote Manager

Hands-on when you need it — connect to remote desktops, Linux shells, or websites all in one connection tree, tabbed and side by side.

The connection tree

Organize your infrastructure into folders containing connection groups, each holding hosts. A group's protocol is tagged in its name — (RDP), (SSH), (SCP), (VNC), or (WEB) — so the right tool launches for every machine.

Availability checker

ServerEngine continuously checks whether each host is reachable on its protocol port and marks it online or offline in the tree, so you always know what's up before you connect.

Sessions & split view

Connections open as tabs inside ServerEngine, so you manage many machines at once without a wall of separate windows. Use split view to arrange one, two, or three panes side by side, and drag hosts from the tree straight into the pane you want.

Working in a session

  • RDP — full desktop control with bidirectional clipboard (text and files) and optional local-drive redirection.
  • Keyboard handoff — ServerEngine releases modifier keys and hands keyboard focus cleanly between embedded sessions, so shortcuts go to the right machine.
  • Web2App — wrap any browser-based admin console (a switch, a NAS, a hypervisor UI) in a dedicated window right alongside your terminals.

Free tier

The Remote Manager is free for up to 25 devices — a complete multi-protocol console on its own. Automation and the API unlock on the paid plans.

Note

Credentials for a session are pulled from the Credentials Store, so you connect with a double-click and never retype a password.
