Remote connection management centralizes RDP, SSH, VNC, web, and other session types in one secure, audited launcher. Define templates, inherit shared settings, and trigger prerequisites such as VPNs or gateways automatically. Use playlists for daily routines, and automate session creation or maintenance with Devolutions PowerShell. At Devolutions, the remote connection management package brings together Remote Desktop Manager, Devolutions Gateway, Devolutions Launcher, Devolutions Cloud, Devolutions Password Manager, and Devolutions Server. Store and govern entries in Devolutions Cloud or Devolutions Server, launch connections with Remote Desktop Manager (or Devolutions Launcher), route secure tunnels through Devolutions Gateway, and work across devices with Devolutions Password Manager. This reduces manual steps, helps enforce least privilege, and speeds troubleshooting. #### Related topics * [Add-ons](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/tools.md) * [AD Console](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [ARD](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [FTP/SFTP](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [HyperV Console](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [Quick connect](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/view/quick-connect.md) * [RDP](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/actions/rdp.md) * [Remote PowerShell](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/tools/powershell-rdm-cmdlet.md) * [SCP](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [SSH](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/edit/create-an-entry.md) * [Telnet](/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/actions/telnet.md) * [Terminal Server](/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/remote-desktop-services-terminal-services.md) * [WOL](/rdm/knowledge-base/knowledge-base-articles/wake-on-lan-wol.md) * [Website](https://docs.devolutions.net/password-manager/browser-extension/devolutions-password-manager-browser-extension-with-remote-desktop-manager/devolutions-password-manager-browser-extension-user-interface-with-remote-desktop-manager/side-menu/add-website) #### See also * [Devolutions Academy - Configuring and Managing Remote Connection Entries](https://academy.devolutions.net/student/path/1916054/activity/2667051) * [Devolutions Academy – Remote desktop management and IT operations](https://academy.devolutions.net/student/path/2523246-remote-connection-management) * [YouTube - Remote Desktop Manager - The remote connection management toolbox for IT pros](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uz8dvo9tpE) * [Devolutions Blog - 5 Reasons Why Good Remote Connection Management Solution is Essential](https://blog.devolutions.net/2022/02/5-reasons-why-good-remote-connection-management-solution-is-essential/) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/concepts/basic-concepts/remote-connection-management.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
