Remmina - The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client
v1.4.1
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.

Welcome to the Remmina wiki!
We are on gitlab
From the 20th of June 2018 the following links have to be used instead of GitHub.
Usually Remmina is included in your GNU/Linux distribution or in an external repository. Do not ask for distribution packages or precompiled binaries here. This is a development site.
https://launchpad.net/~remmina-ppa-team/+archive/ubuntu/remmina-next
To install it, just copy and paste the following three lines on a terminal window
Don't forget to exit/kill al your running instances of remmina. The best way to do it is to reboot your PC. Or, if you cannot reboot, kill all running remmina with
By default the RDP, SSH and SFTP plugins are installed. You can view a list of available plugins with apt-cache search remmina-plugin
If you are willing to test the development version, you must use an another ppa.
The remmina-next PPA can be used for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, provided that you are running one of the supported *ubuntu derivatives on your Raspberry Pi.
Remmina is available in the official repository (testing and unstable) and in the backports for the Debian Stretch (stable).
The Debian Backports repository must be enabled to install it, see this blog post for more information.
Remmina is not available on Debian stable (Stretch) through the default Debian repositories.
The Debian Backports repository must be enabled to install it, see this blog post for more information.
To install Remmina from Debian Backports, just copy and paste the following lines on a terminal window:
Remmina is available on the official Testing and Unstable repositories.
We have our Remmina package repository for Raspbian Buster (10.x), tested on RPi 3B and 3B+, use the following commands to add our repository to your Raspbian:
Then you can install remmina
It's also strongly advised to install gnome-keyring to make Remmina save encrypted passwords in a safer place than .remmina text files.
On the Raspberry Pi you can also use an Ubuntu derivative, for example Ubuntu Mate, and install Remmina using our ubuntu's PPA remmina-next as explained in this page.
If you use SSH agent (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1438 )
Just be aware that flatpak store data for installed applications (the XDG config/data folders) under $HOME/.var
So for instance, if you previously have 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
We are still working to deliver a stable Snap package, but we still have many issues with SNAP packaging. If you encounter any issues, try first an other mean of installation and only after report the problem through https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/issues. Snap currently lacks some functionalities, read this chapter to find more informations. Please also note note that currently the SNAP package does not work under Ubuntu 17.10 + Wayland, see issue #1414.
Ensure you've snapd
installed in your system. Then in Ubuntu you can install the last release from the Software center, looking for remmina
, otherwise you can install it from terminal with:
Please note that this is not enough to make remmina fully functional, due to some limitations of the snap subsystem.
Some features, for example password saving via a keyring, are disabled and must be manually enabled:
Some features just don't work, for example accessing your personal ~/.ssh directory is not possible for a snap. You have to manually copy your ~/.ssh/* files under ~/snap/remmina/common/.ssh/
If you want to install latest git revision of remmina, you can use it from the edge
channel:
Or update the current installed version with the selected channel:
Snap packages will be updated automatically and will include both latest FreeRDP
git and 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 just execute as root:
On Red Hat you can enable the EPEL repository:
Note: Unlucky Remmina is not yet in EPEL, you can help submitting a request on the Red Hat bugzilla.
The official Arch Linux package is very well maintaned, if you to use the AUR Install remmina-git.
There are also some external, not supported plugins provided by Muflone :
Simply install the newest version of Remmina from the repository with the following command:
Here, on github, we have three official branches:
"master" branch: the future 1.2.X version, which compiles with current freerdp master branch and will compile with freerdp 2.0 when released. We will do code developments and bugfixes here, on the master branch.
"oldmaster" branch: the 1.1.2 stable version, which compiles with freerdp 1.1 stable. We will only provide security fixes or critical bugs (i.e.: data corruption) fixes on version 1.1.X.
~~"gtk2" branch: a special remmina 1.1.1 version compatible with GTK2, compiles with freerdp 1.1 stable~~
