tsclient (taken from about dialog): Terminal Server Client is a frontend for rdesktop, vncviewer, wfica and xnest.
With it you can connect into a windows (rdp) or *nix (vnc) machine in an easy way. There also is a panel applet, which lets you connect quickly (just one click is necessary) into pre-configured machines.
It is a great tool, mainly in a networked environment. Its interface is very similar to that found on windows operating system. This is particularly cool for window users, they don’t have to learn how to use a new, different program.
I just started helping on tsclient development. I hope to improve this software, which i use every day in my work.
It has now a page on Sourceforge, with svn and bug tracking. So, bug reports and patches are more than welcome!
John – If you need any help with icons or graphics in general for tsclient, drop us a note at the Tango project (http://www.tango-project.org/) – we\\\’d be glad to help.
Is it possible to build NX client support into tsclient? I believe there is a Free implementation of the client libs floating around somewhere. The official NX client is great, but not open.
Thanks a lot for your efforts! tsclient is vital for my day to day work.
Thank you for working on this app, I too use it daily and I appreciate your efforts.
John, give Tango Project guys a buzz if you need new gfx design. I would like to see a new GUI for the client that match the GNOME look-n-feel.
John, first of all, keep the good work, and thank you for your efforts. Just a simple question … is there some way to redirect local printers using TSClient ? I couldn´t find it … I think this feature will be very useful, because I´m working on replacing Windows terminals with Ubuntu, and the users are used to print on their local printer transparently. Now the only way I could do it is using RDesktop directly with the -r option, but loosing the GUI, and the error display in case of connection failure.
Hey, the homepage for the project is down, does this bode ill for the project as a whole? Is it still being actively developed?
Would be a pity to drop it short of doing the sound/disks/printer redirection work is complete.
no map printer in terminal client ubuntu compare to remote desktop in windows xp there in a map sound printer and drive in remote desktop local resources
