Connect to local host

Sorry, I know this must be somewhere around here. I've loaded Devolutions on my Mac; setup all my RDP & SSH connections to remote machines. I would like to bring up the BASH terminal for my local machine, such that I can use split window to SSH to Remote, and do the Tunnel Session on my local Mac. I would like to do this entirely within Devolutions.

Hi,

I think I will need more details on what it is you want to do exactly. RDM supports SSH Shell, SSH Tunnel and RDP sessions which should all allow you to do what you've mentioned above. I'm not so sure about what you mean by "bring up the BASH terminal for my local machine" though.

I want to have my local Mac terminal in the left pane, and my remote linux in the right pane. I've tried a few different connection types; so, basically I just want to be able to get a console of my local machine. Sorry, I know I'm just missing something.

I think I understand what you want, you would like to open a local terminal in RDM.

At the moment, outside of connecting an SSH Shell session to localhost, this is not possible.

We've talked about it at some point, but it never got to be in the TODO list.

any initiative to add the local terminal functionality? I recently moved to remote desktop and as a frequently used session profile this is important

Oh! This is already possible and has been for a bit now. See: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/37133/create-session-to-local-mac-os-shell

We forgot about this specific thread. Sorry for that!

Here's where a local terminal can be launched from:

Hi is there any progress on getting a bash terminal on a windows 11 machine?

Hi!

This should already be possible with RDM Windows? It's found at the same place as RDM Mac, that is, Tools -> Windows Terminal:
