Connect to multiple computers

If you want to connect to more than one Windows-based computer at a time, you can save a connection file for each computer that you connect to. Each connection file can have a different set of preferences, such as automatic login credentials, screen size, and display options. You can quickly connect to the computer that you want by opening its connection file.

Important

The Windows-based computer must be turned on, and it must have a network connection. You can’t connect to a computer that is sleeping, hibernating, or on standby. Therefore, make sure that the settings for sleep, hibernation, and standby on the Windows-based computer are set to Never. For information about how to make those changes, see Windows Help. Make sure that the computer that you want to connect to is running a version of Windows that supports remote connections. For a complete list, see Windows version compatibility.
