Cocoa Remote Desktop

March 24, 2007 at 1:43 pm | In osx, software | 1 Comment

After posting about TSClientX, I found another very promising RDP client for Mac OS X, CoRD, a.k.a. Cocoa Remote Desktop.

CoRD is being developed using Cocoa, so it could become a more integrated alternative to the already mature TSClientX; both clients seem to use rdesktop as the protocol foundation.

You can find and try the latest version (0.3 at the time of writing) on the Sourceforce project’s page.

I am testing it with a Windows 2003 R2 server and a Windows 2000 SP4 one, and it seems already stable for generic usage; features like audio redirection, clipboard integration and disk sharing are still missing, but hardly critical for me; moreover, they are already on the project roadmap.

A pretty unique feature which is already working, is that you can see a live thumbnail of the screen for each active session.

Kudos to the developers, having native versions of tools like rdesktop is very useful for the OS X community.

  1. If you cannot copy/paste to and from the terminal server and the local computer it is pretty useless for me.

    Kudos to my cat.
