I understand that as of now, Jump Desktop 7 for PC supports remote desktop through Fluid on Windows platforms. Will there eventually be RDP and VNC support as well? I am currently not able to remote into any PC or MACs that is not Fluid, and MACs especially since Jump Desktop Connect for MAC does not support Fluid.

  Hi Tony,

  1. Jump Desktop Connect 5.0 Beta supports Fluid on Mac. Try it out here: https://support.jumpdesktop.com/entries/109741706-Jump-Desktop-Connect-5-0-Beta-with-support-for-Mac-Fluid

  2. RDP support will be added to Jump Desktop for Windows after we come out of beta.

  3. VNC support is not planned at the moment. We've worked hard to make sure Fluid supports all the VNC scenarios in Jump Desktop Connect 5.0 (including Macs). It's much faster, more secure and more feature full. Things like full motion video streaming, rich clipboard support, multi-mon capability and internationalization are already built into Fluid and in the near future we will also add audio streaming support.

  I'm confused about VNC support, there is a tick box in the jump remote desktop app for VNC access. Is it not meant to work?

  Clint, it's meant to work with Jump Desktop clients that support VNC. At the moment Jump Desktop for iOS, Android and Mac support VNC.

  Hi!

  Glad to hear support for RDP is coming for the Windows client.  Can I suggest adding VNC support to the plan once RDP is feature complete?  Bringing full feature parity between the Windows and OS X clients would be fantastic.  There are very few good quality VNC clients for Windows.  The ones that do exist seem to have last had a UI refresh around Windows XP came out.  

  Thanks!

  Hello, Can we get an update on windows RDP Support please. It was not cool for you guys to just drop support with the old viewer without an alternative. I was recommending your product and am very frustrated by this. Give us a date or something please.

  @Ed - we're working on adding RDP support right now. We're almost 90% done with the feature. I don't have an ETA for you yet - though we will try and release a beta soon.

   @overcookedtofu - No good VNC clients: Thats a good suggestion. I'll bring this to the dev team.
