💖 NAME 💖

remmina — Remmina the GTK+ Remote Desktop Client

Ok bestie, this is the one. The manual page for Remmina, the GTK+ remote desktop client, straight from the General Commands Manual. Let's get into it. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

remmina [-a|i|n|q|v] [-c FILE] [-e FILE] [-p TABINDEX] [-s SERVER] [-t
PROTOCOL] [-x PLUGIN] [--update-profile] [--set-option OPTION[=VALUE]]
[--display DISPLAY]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, and its whole personality is being useful for system administrators and travellers — like, the people who gotta juggle a million remote computers while staring at either giant monitors or the tiniest little netbooks. 🫶 And it supports multiple network protocols in one integrated, consistent user interface. No chaos. Just vibes. ✨

Right now the supported protocols are RDP, VNC, SSH, SPICE, and WWW. Periodt.

Remmina ships in separated source packages, which are:

• "remmina" — the main GTK+ application 👑
• "remmina-plugins" — a set of plugins 🎀

And it's free and open-source software, released under the GNU GPL license. We love to see it. 💅

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/remmina.pref or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/remmina/remmina.pref

These are the Remmina configuration files. 🗂️

The very first time you run Remmina, the system wide Remmina configuration files get copied into the ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}. Like, it moves in and makes itself at home. 🏠

• ${XDG_DATA_DIRS}/FILE.remmina or ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/remmina/FILE.remmina

These are your Remmina profiles. The file name is autogenerated, but ngl you can also create your own files manually with whatever FILE name you prefer. And yes — it's possible to specify a custom profile name and location. Iconic. 💅

remmina -c FILE.remmina

To quick connect using a URI:

remmina -c rdp://username@server
remmina -c rdp://domain\\username@server
remmina -c vnc://username@server
remmina -c vnc://server?VncUsername=username
remmina -c ssh://user@server
remmina -c spice://server

To quick connect using a URI along with an encrypted password:

remmina -c rdp://username:encrypted-password@server
remmina -c vnc://username:encrypted-password@server
remmina -c vnc://server?VncUsername=username\&VncPassword=encrypted-password

To encrypt a password for use with a URI:

remmina --encrypt-password

To update username and password and set a different resolution mode of a remmina connection profile, use:

echo "ausernamenapassword" | remmina --update-profile /PATH/TO/FOO.remmina --set-option username --set-option resolution_mode=2 --set-option password
