Summary of practical use tips for Remote Desktop Connection

What is Remote Desktop Connection?

Remote Desktop Connection is a mode of remote operating computer that can be used to visually access the desktop environment of a remote computer for administrators to administer remote computer servers on client computers. The predecessor of

Remote Desktop Connection should be telnet. Telnet is a character interface landing way, Microsoft extended it to the graphical interface, showing the exceptionally powerful features.

in daily work communication, we often use Remote Desktop Connection features, many people think that such a function is almost insignificant, but in the actual use of the process, we sometimes encounter a variety of special Remote Desktop Connection requirements, to successfully meet these special connectivity requirements,　　You must have some tips on how to use Remote Desktop connections.

Allow Remote Desktop Connection ports to evade attacks

you know, in the default state of the remote Desktop use of the port is generally "3389", if we do not change this port number in time, so many malicious hackers may use this port, To remotely control and invade local workstations in order to steal all kinds of privacy information stored on the local workstation. To secure the local workstation, we can try to change the default port number used by Remote Desktop Connection to another port number as follows:

First log in as privileged to the local workstation system and click the start, Run command on the system desktop. From the system Run box that pops up, enter the string command "regedit", open the system registry editing interface of the local workstation after clicking OK, and

next to the display area on the left side of the editing interface, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry branch with the mouse. Select the Systemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolterminal serverwdsrdpwdtdstcp subkey from the list of branches that pops up later, and in the right display area for the TCP subkey, We will see a subkey named PortNumber, which is actually used to define the Remote Desktop Connection port number, and set the value of the subkey to a different port number, for example, you can set its numeric value to "9999";

After you complete the numeric modification operation, We then position the mouse over the registry branch Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolterminal Serverwinstationsrdp-tcp, In the right-hand display area corresponding to the Rdp-tcp subkey, we also see a name called PortNumbersubkey, the value of the subkey should also be modified together, for example, here we also want to change its value to "9999";

After completing the Remote Desktop Connection port number for the local workstation, we later need to connect to the workstation via Remote Desktop, We need to open the Remote Desktop Connection Settings window in the corresponding workstation and set up the workstation address where the remote connection is required, then click the Save As button to save the Remote Desktop settings as a file, and then use a text editing program such as WordPad to open the previously saved RDP file. and manually enter a line of "server port:i:9999" in the text editing area, and then save the file as originally known, so that we can safely connect to the local workstation via Remote Desktop.　　As long as other users do not know the new Remote Desktop port number, they will not be able to create Remote Desktop connection with the local workstation, then the security of the local workstation will be greatly enhanced!

Use Remote Desktop Connection to transfer files

When transferring files in a local area network, it is believed that most people will do it through file sharing, but the target files that are set up for shared status are easily stolen by others, and some people with ulterior motives will also pass the shared channel to the local workstation Execute the attack. 　　In order to ensure the safe transfer of files in the LAN, we can take advantage of the disk mapping function in the Remote Desktop Connection program to make the file transfer in the LAN more secure and easier, the following is the use of Remote Desktop features for file transfer of the specific procedures:

First click the start/program/Remote Desktop Connection command on the local workstation system desktop. Open the Remote Desktop Connector interface, click the Options button in the interface, and then eject the Options Settings window, click the "Local Resources" tab, open the tab Settings page shown in Figure 3, and select the Disk drive project, and then click the Connect button to start Remote Desktop Connection;

when successfully connected to the opposing workstation system, we double-click the "My Computer" icon in the desktop of the other workstation system with the mouse. We will see that the local workstation's various disk partitions, including the optical drive, are already mapped to the other workstation, and we can easily and securely file transfer operations as we replicate and move files locally. After the file transfer operation is complete, we must disconnect the Remote Desktop Connection in time to prevent other users from taking the opportunity to peek at their privacy information.
