Feature Request: Allow for folders to set Hostname/IP

Open countchappy opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Issue that prompted feature request?

Folders do not allow you to set a Hostname/IP for inheritance.

Fix for specified issue:

  • Allow folders to configure a Hostname/IP
  • Allow for sub-folders/connections underneath the folder to inherit the setting

I can work on this myself and submit a PR if you would like

@countchappy Could you provide some more details in regards to the use case?

The only thing that I can think of would be to have multiple connections with the same hostname/IP, but different credentials. Would like to understand this better.

@kmscode That is exactly what it would be for 😆 Currently we use mRemoteNG at my workplace to connect multiple users to our Terminal Server on a single workstation. So we have multiple users under a single folder for terminal server connections. (Image below for reference) mremoteng_setup All of these connections connect to the same hostname tserv.[redacted].com That's just an example of how my work uses it. I manage my server by having all of the connections under the same folder, but they all connect to the same IP. Just thought it would be nice to have 😄

I would also like this feature. I would use it exactly the same way as described above.

I would like this ability too e.g. if you have docker installed on a host with different ssh ports for different machines, the machine is the same but the port and/or usernames would be different. For testing application users with different access this would be ideal linking to the same host but with different credentials.
