Remote desktop

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article or section needs to be revised: Article almost exclusively deals with the RDP protocol (also unproven that this is the "most widely used" RD protocol). What about VNC-based protocols (including Apple) or other protocols (TeamViewer is also used as a remote desktop, not "just" for screen sharing)? - Felt pen  ( discussion ) 11:09 am, Jul 5, 2020 (CEST)

Remote desktop (from English for "remote desk" or remote control ) refers to remote access to the desktop of a computer. Application programs are executed on one computer (server) and displayed and operated on another computer (client). In contrast to screen sharing , no user has to log on locally to the server. A remote desktop session runs independently of any other session that may be running.

The most widely used protocol for remote desktop is the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). With Windows , the software for the RDP client is installed or supplied. The use of the RDP server is only reserved for the higher Windows versions (Server / Professional / Enterprise / etc.), Not the Home / Core / Starter versions of Windows. There are also various other software that support the protocol.

For Linux there are e.g. B. the server software Xrdp and the client software rdesktop and x2go .

For macOS , Apple offers the Apple Remote Desktop .
