Hello Yoel,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we're still investigating into this feature and whether we'll be able to implement it at some point in our future updates for Mac/Linux. Please note that RDP is a Microsoft-native solution and Remote Utilities has no control over how exactly it functions - the RDP connection mode that you can see in Viewer simply runs Microsoft's own RDP client, nothing more. For now you can see the list of features that definitely will be implemented in the upcoming updates in the very first message of this thread.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Microsoft has an RDP client for mac, which I think it should be easy to implement, or maybe you can explain how we can do it ourselves after connecting securely with remote utilities

Hello Yoel,

I've forwarded your question to our developers to ask them if they can provide any feedback on RDP for Mac. I'll get back to you as soon as I get an update from them.

Thank you.

Hello Yoel,

Thank you for your patience.

I've checked with our developers regarding the RDP feature for Mac and, unfortunately, we won't be able to implement it in our upcoming updates for now. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

Let us know if you have more questions.

I was wondering if there is any update on the Host for Linux?

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, there's no specific ETA on this release for now. However, we will do our best to release the first public beta of Host for Mac/Linux as soon as possible. Sorry that it took longer than expected.

Let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for your message.

We definitely will add multi monitor support in subsequent updates of Viewer for Mac/Linux. Unfortunately, for now we can’t provide a specific ETA on this feature.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello,

The first Host/Agent preview for Linux - see this thread.

Mac version will be released in beta together with the beta version for Linux. The version above is currently alpha and is for preview only.

Thanks.
