Robert Chartier

Robert Chartier is an independent developer whose open-source project, Terminals, consolidates multi-protocol remote access into a single, tabbed Windows workspace. Built on Microsoft’s RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, Citrix ICA and web-based consoles, the utility targets system administrators, DevOps engineers and support teams who routinely juggle dozens of on-premise, cloud and virtual machines. The interface presents each session as a detachable tab within one frame, letting users tile, group and annotate connections while storing encrypted credentials in a shared or personal safe. Favorites can be organized into folders that inherit global defaults for screen size, color depth, port tunneling and pre/post-login scripts, cutting the time needed to onboard new servers or troubleshoot urgent incidents. Built-in port scanning, ping tracing and Wake-On-LAN tools reduce dependence on external utilities, while a credential repository integrates with Windows Hello and smart cards to satisfy corporate security policies. Session recording, screen capture and bulk-import wizards further simplify compliance documentation and large-scale migration projects. Lightweight and portable, Terminals runs from a USB stick without administrative rights, making it a common addition to emergency repair kits and consultant toolboxes. Robert Chartier’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
