Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK hosted on Gitlab [1]. It supports the following protocols: SSH, VNC, RDP, X2Go, HTTP(S)

## Installation

Install the remmina package.

- For VNC support install the libvncserver package.

- For SPICE support install the spice-gtk package.

- For RDP support, also install the optional freerdp or remmina-plugin-rdesktopAUR.

- Password saving depends on GNOME Keyring or KDE Wallet.

Note: If one of the protocols (e.g. RDP) is not available in the Remmina dropdown menu after installing the required package, make sure to completely quit Remmina first: run `killall remmina`. When you restart Remmina, the protocol should be available.

## Usage

To open previously saved connection profile you can do:

    $ remmina --connect=~/.remmina/file-name.remmina

Depending on your setup, the dirname(1) might be `~/.config/remmina/`, rather then `~/.remmina/`.

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

    #!/bin/bash
    cd ~/.remmina/    # or ~/.config/remmina/ if appropriate
    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 the `-i`/`--icon` option.
