Using Remote Desktop Manager is a great way to organize remote connections to servers that we administer. In this guide I will show you how to add a connection to a remote Linux Server. Additionally, I will show you how to be automatically placed in the sudo mode after the remote connection is established.

Highlight Sessions and click New Entry.

Choose SSH Shell (Rebex) and click OK.

In the General tab, fill in the information needed.

At this point, you can connect to the remote server. Continue with the following instructions will allow you to automatically enter the sudo mode. Now click the Events tab and choose After Connect.

Under the “After connect – Macro” session, fill in the information as shown below. Click OK when done.

Now you should be able to open the session. You will automatically be placed in the sudo mode.
