what is the name of the program that allows you to switch between servers (using Remote Desktop Connection) with a mouse click?

The program had a list of servers on the left pane and the main pane was the actual server connection.

Thanks in advanced

Late to the party, but so is this option: Microsoft's own RDCMan (Remote Desktop Connection Manager) is a huge upgrade to their old MMC snap-in.

Highly recommended.

I, personally, use mRemote for that. Supports RDP, VNC, telnet, http/s and a bunch more.
Royal TS is another worth looking at.

For Windows machines:

  • mRemote (Abandoned Open-Source project -- still solid. Codebase was merged with the following closed source product)
  • VisionApp Remote Desktop
  • MuRD
  • Terminals (Open source project that doesn't have a whole lot of activity... could use some TLC, but it still works)

I've been using Terminals for a while now, use it for RDP, putty and web management pages.

I have all my "native" work in the left screen most of the time and save the right screen for terminals and server / management work.

Works a treat.

Terminals. It recently had an update released.

The item you need is in the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack

If you install it I think you'll find what you need.
