mRemoteNG is a unique tool described as the next generation of mRemote, open source, tabbed, multi-protocol, remote connections manager. This tool provides functionality beyond that of a simple remote connections manager.
In this story, I will describe the usage of FileZilla.exe. If FZ is one of your tools, it is extremely simple to configure and use within mRemoteNG.
I have one or more connections to FTP sites w/in FileZilla. Is it possible to do it with mRemoteNG to make it simpler? The answer is DEFINITELY .
