Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+. It supports the following protocols:

- SSH
- VNC
- RDP
- NX
- SFTP
- XDMCP

## Installation

Install the remmina package. If you need RDP support, you could install freerdp but it is recommended you install remmina-plugin-rdesktopAUR. As of Remmina 1.2.0, RDP connections using freerdp suffer from frequent unrequested disconnections but rdesktop RDP connections are much more reliable.

Note: If the RDP option is not available in the Remmina dropdown menu after installing freerdp, make sure to completely quit Remmina first: run `killall remmina`. When you restart Remmina, RDP should be available.

## Using from command line

To open previously saved connection profile you can do:

    $ remmina -c ~/.remmina/file-name.remmina

Here is the script, which renames connection profile files basing on `name=` property to make it human readable:

    #!/bin/bash
    cd ~/.remmina
    ls -1 *.remmina | while read a; do
           N=`grep '^name=' "$a" | cut -f2 -d=`;
           [ "$a" == "$N.remmina" ] || mv "$a" "$N".remmina;
    done

To minimize to tray on startup, use `-i` option.
