Rdesktop: Remote Desktop client in Linux

Toy posted in apps, ToolsRSSTrackback

Rdesktop is a client that accesses Windows Remote Desktop in Unix/Linux.Program. Currently, rdesktop supports NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 Windows series. By using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) implemented by rdesktop, you can present Windows desktops in Unix/Linux systems and perform relevant operations.

Unlike a business program like Citrix ICA, rdesktop has no expansion requirements for servers. The latest stable version of rdesktop is 1.5.0.Source codeTo install it, you can also use the following command to install it directly from the Linux release used:

Apt-Get install rdesktop

Or,

Yum install rdesktop

The previous command is applicable to the Debian/Ubuntu system, and the last command is applicable to the fedora system.

To connect to Windows Remote Desktop, run the following command:

Rdesktop [Options] server [: Port]

For example, you can useRdesktop-f-a 16 192.168.0.100. For more detailed usage of rdesktop, You can query man rdesktop.

Updated:If you use seamlessrdp in combination, you can make rdesktop more interesting: You can directly execute applications on Windows desktop from Linux, just like running native programs in Linux. The implementation method is as follows:

1. Download seamlessrdp.zip and extract it to c: \ seamlessrdp.
2. Run Windows desktop programs from Linux, such as IE:Rdesktop-a-s "C: \ seamlessrdp \ seamlessrdpshell.exe c: \ Program Files \ Internet Explorer \ iexplore.exe" <ip>: 3389-u administrator-P PasswordThe IP address is the IP address of the server.

For more information about how to implement this method, see Ubuntu wiki.
