Remote Tools Functions

View the remote desktop live and work on it directly with full keyboard and mouse control, just as if you were sitting in front of the machine.

Full multi-monitor support — view every screen at once or focus on a single display of your choosing.

Tune frame rate, image quality, colour depth and scaling to strike the right balance between responsiveness and bandwidth on any connection.

Record a session or capture a screenshot while you work, saved straight to your own machine — useful for evidencing a change, writing up a fault, or showing someone exactly what you saw.

Copy and paste text in both directions — take a command, a path or a line of config from your own machine straight to the remote desktop, and bring output back the same way.

Works across Windows, macOS and Linux — including both X11 and Wayland desktop sessions.

Browse local and remote file systems with ease using the intuitive interface, and save often used folders as favourites to save time and effort.

Move files or folders between local and remote systems in a couple of clicks.

Easily delete or rename files and folders, create new directories, and zip or unzip packages — all from a single, intuitive interface.

View file or folder details and change permissions of remote files and folders.

Transfer data using modern compression algorithms to maximise throughput, with compression configurable per transfer to suit the link and the payload.

Delta-sync ensures only changed data is transferred, cutting bandwidth consumption and accelerating file transfers.

Automatically resume transfers after a network interruption, picking up where they left off — so a dropped connection costs you seconds, not the whole transfer.

Monitor progress in real time wherever a transfer was started, with the ability to pause or cancel it at any point.

Professional Unlimited simultaneous transfers.

Combine scripts, commands, file transfers and packages into a single reusable workflow — saving time and making sure the job is done the same way every time.

Build and edit tasks in a clear, straightforward interface — no scripting language to learn just to automate the everyday.

Run a saved task and watch it happen in real time — then come back later to a full, stored history of every previous run for complete auditability.

Professional Global tasks with advanced filtering — define a task once and let filtering decide where it belongs, so it is only visible to, and can only run on, the agents that meet your criteria.

Professional Run a task across many agents at once with batch execution — apply the same change to a whole fleet in the time it used to take for one machine.

Professional Advanced scheduling runs your tasks unattended — overnight maintenance, routine housekeeping and regular checks all happen without anyone needing to be at the keyboard.

Professional See every task across every agent from a single overview — know at a glance what ran, where it ran, and what still needs attention.

Professional Import and export tasks as files — share a workflow with a colleague, keep a copy with your own documentation, or carry one between sites without rebuilding it by hand.

Run commands and manage remote systems directly from the Remote Tools interface, with a fully interactive session that behaves exactly as it would locally.

Works with each operating system's own native interpreters — Bash, Zsh, PowerShell, cmd and more—so your existing commands and scripts just work.

Control exactly which accounts and interpreters a terminal session may use, configured per agent — so access matches what each machine and each operator actually needs.

Never lose your place — sessions reconnect and recover automatically after a network interruption, leaving you where you left off rather than back at a fresh prompt.

Forward in either direction — bring a remote service to your own machine, or publish a local service to the remote network.

Full support for both TCP and UDP, so everything from database connections to DNS and streaming protocols works as expected.

A built-in SOCKS proxy reaches the whole remote network through a single forward — no need to configure one for every host you want to talk to.

Restrict each forward to specific addresses or IP ranges, so a tunnel only ever carries the traffic you intended it to.

Forwards reconnect automatically after a network interruption, so a dropped connection does not mean setting your tunnels up again.

Professional Configure port forwards to open automatically when you connect to an agent, so frequently used tunnels are ready without having to set them up each time.

View every account on the remote machine, kept up to date as things change, so you always know who has access and who is currently signed in.

Log a user in or out, or switch to a different account, entirely from the control—so you can reach the desktop you actually need rather than the one that happens to be open.

Lock or unlock an account when circumstances change — useful when someone leaves, or when a machine needs to be taken out of use in a hurry.

Reset a password remotely to get a locked-out user working again, without a visit to the desk or the site.

Easily view agent configuration details and connection information.

Monitor real-time CPU and memory usage and view detailed hardware information.

Quickly view all installed services or daemons and see their current status, start/stop/restart them on demand.

View processes running on the remote host, see per-process CPU and memory usage in real time, and stop them on demand.

Get fast access to important log files to monitor system health, speed up development, and troubleshoot issues with ease.

Use Follow mode to receive live updates as the log file changes.

Use advanced search to quickly find and highlight important log entries.

Save frequently used files as favourites so they can be accessed quickly and easily.
