Has anyone used anything like the MAC Remote Desktop for Windows?

Its way more organized and simple, I have to connect to about 50 different vps daily and it saves a lot of speed.

Just wanted a windows solution as well.

If you have Windows, then you have Remote Desktop. You just need to enable the option to allow connections. If you're trying to access a system that's behind a router/firewall, then you'll also have to do some configuration to forward the remote desktop port to the computer you want to connect to.

Otherwise, go with Teamviewer. It's free for personal use, and doesn't require any port forwarding.

Yes windows has it built in however their organization for saving logins is horrible, there is none. Iam working by vps and mac is fairly organized I just need a windows option and can't really find one.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCman), perhaps?

Teamviewer works cross platform quite well. We use it at work for remote monitoring / remote suppport. Free for non-commercial use.

Windows remote desktop and VNC are decent and free solutions. I don't use either because my personal internet is on dynamic ip and I'm too lazy to set up something to map it when it changes.

I love teamviewer. It's my go to because its login based.

What you do, and its pretty shitty, is to save the connection settings shortcut for each server or machine that you need to connect to. The Mac OS version does it entirely in the app itself so you can better organize it there. What I do at work is create a folder, and then save a connection setting shortcut file for each server i want, and then run the shortcut whenever i need to connect to a specific server. Unfortunately it means a folder of about 50 some odd shortcut files, but each shortcut file has the login credentials as well as the screen res settings I want.

Hope that helps.
