Well, on the beginning it was a small application... But anyway, don't search here for SSH specification, or how to enable remote desktop for your account on Windows server.

Key application terms:

  • Connection - session between computer, which offers remote control, and your Terminals application
  • Terminal - text window, which can be used for not GUI remote control protocols like Telnet or SSH
  • Favorite - stored configuration, which allows you to connect to one service on one server using one user login
  • Tag - text associated with one or more favorites, which allows you to group your favorites into logical groups visible in tree.
  • Group - set of favorites used for batch connection operations. Since version 3.0 only Groups and Tags are used in the same meaning
  • Shortcut - stored configuration, which allows you to start script or application directly from Terminals application. By default Terminals comes with shortcuts to Microsoft management console and Control panel applets
  • Capture - stored screen picture of your running connection
  • Protocol - type of remote control service offered by server you want to connect to
  • Credentials - authentication information (Domain, user name and password). Note, that you don't have to store your passwords. For more details check the documentation.
