The Helper Monkey

The Helper Monkey is a professional network administration program whose purpose is to help you access and monitor your servers remotely. You can access your servers with the aid of third-party tools, such as Remote Desktop (RDP), PuTTY(included), WinSCP (included) and Wireshark.

This SSH Java-based application comes in a portable package which can be deployed on your system without having to go through installation steps. Plus, it brings some benefits to your system, as your Windows registry doesn’t get bloated with unnecessary entries.

Plus, you may copy the application on any USB flash drive or other devices and take with you whenever you need to remotely access and control your servers.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that displays the current date and time in the primary panel. Plus, it offers information about the server name, address, user, password, protocol, domain, environment and port.

There’s support for several advanced features which may be difficult to decode by novice users. Checking out the online documentation may get you out of trouble.

The Helper Monkey gives you the possibility to create a new file to hold information about hosts by specifying a custom name. If you have multiple hosts, you can directly edit the source CSV file.

What’s more, you can make changes or get data on multiple hosts simultaneously, add SSH keys on multiple hosts, and make use of three monitoring modes (normal, advanced or disk) for visualizing your server’s CPU and RAM status.

You can use the utility to create a network trace on your servers by selecting the target servers and enabling the SNOOP function, export environmental links to HTML file format, activate the XMPP chat utility and log in using your Gmail account for adding and removing users, and sharing information between users and running commands with the aid of Google Talk.

The Helper Monkey lets you print the CSV file or table, refresh the files, work with a built-in text editor, activate a command-line console, ping the selected host, test the selected connection, as well as configure several bandwidth settings, such as CPU refresh rate and history, network statistics, and RAM refresh rate.

The Helper Monkey comes with a powerful suite of features for helping you remotely control your servers, and is suitable especially for advanced users.
