RDP workflow

[ebarrere]

Hey there -

 

I've used iTap RDP for a while now and have been annoyed with the inability to do a "quick connect" session like CoRD and most other RDP apps.  So I've written a quick little Alfred workflow to open an RDP session from a temp file (I can't believe I didn't think of this before!)

 

The workflow has been (lightly) tested with both iTap RDP and the newly-released Microsoft Remote Desktop app (free from the App Store), but should work with any other app that can read a .rdp file.

 

Usage:

• Type rdp <hostname/IP>[:port] (port defaults to 3389)
• Enter will open an RDP session to the host using the default system application (can be set using APP variable in script)
• Provide a "short hostname" (non-FQDN hostname) to auto-append the search suffix from /etc/resolv.conf

 

 

Download direct at GitHub.

 

Enjoy!

how can I install this workflow? I use remoter

Ok, I could install it, but it doesn't work with the Remoter App. Any suggestions?

It probably doesn't support .rdp files, unfortunately.  If you can find a way to launch an RDP connection from the command line I can update the script to support it, but that is all I can recommend.

 

Good luck!
