Remmina - The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client
v1.4.2
Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks. Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent user interface. Currently RDP, VNC, NX, XDMCP and SSH are supported.

Remmina is developed on GitLab, as of the 20th of June 2018.
Use these wiki and issues links instead of GitHub equivalents.
Usually Remmina is included in your distribution, or in an external repository you can add.
An official PPA with the latest Remmina release can be install by copying and pasting this in a terminal:
Make sure Remmina is not running. Either close it, reboot, or kill it by pasting this in a terminal:
List available plugins with apt-cache search remmina-plugin. By default RDP, SSH and SFTP are installed. To test a daily built development version, do the above, but start with
Remmina is in the official stable, testing and unstable repositories.
Here Remmina can be installed from backports by copying and pasting this in a terminal:
Remmina operates its own package repository for Raspbian Buster (10.x) you can install by copying and pasting this in a terminal:
(Tested on RPi 3B and 3B+) It is strongly advised to also install gnome-keyring to let Remmina save encrypted passwords in a safer place than .remmina textfiles in the /home user folder.
(The remmina-next PPA can be used on Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, provided you are running one of the supported *buntu derivatives.)
This is a system agnostic package that works on just about every distribution.
If you use SSH agent (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1438 )
Flatpak stores data for installed applications (the XDG config/data folders) under $HOME/.var If you have previously installed Remmina with another package manager, you will have to transfer what was under $HOME/.config/remmina and $HOME/.local/share/remmina under, respectively ~/.var/app/org.remmina.Remmina/config/remmina and ~/.var/app/org.remmina.Remmina/data/remmina
This also is a system agnostic package that works on many distributions, but mainly Ubuntu.
If you run into issues, try something else first, and then report the issues. Our Snap package does not work on Ubuntu 17.10 if you use Wayland, see issue #1414._
First make sure you have snapd installed. Then install the last release from the Ubuntu Software Center by looking for Remmina, or install it from a terminal with:
The Snap subsystem has limitations, so some features, for example password storage via keyring is missing and must be fixed manually:
Some features just don't work on Snap, for example accessing your personal ~/.ssh directory is not possible. You have to manually copy your ~/.ssh/* files to ~/snap/remmina/common/.ssh/
If you want to install latest Git revision of Remmina as Snap, get it from the edge channel:
Or, update your Remmina Snap install with your channel of choice:
Snaps are updated with the system and include both latest FreeRDP Git and the latest libssh 0.7 release (for better security).
As of March 2018 Remmina is available on most Fedora testing and stable, we still have a (not updated) Copr provided by Hubbitus (Pavel Alexeev), to install, paste this in a terminal as root:
Install Remmina from the EPEL repository by pasting this in a terminal:

To build a binary and install
There is an official Arch Linux Remmina package. Or, if you want to use the AUR, install remmina-git. There are also some external, not supported plugins provided by Muflone and other Arch Remmina Protocol plugins
Code development and bugfixes take place on the master branch. It compiles with the current FreeRDP master branch, and will compile with FreeDRP 2.0 when released as stable.
