rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000
|
|
|
|
Terminal Services, Windows XP Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal
|
|
|
|
Services products. rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 protocol.

Installation
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% ./configure [options]
|
|
|
|
% make
|
|
|
|
% make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help".
|
|
|
|
Usually no options are necessary. The default is to install under /usr/local,
|
|
|
|
this can be changed with --prefix=directory.
|
|
|

|
Invocation
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% rdesktop [options] server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. Note: if you
|
|
|
|
receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
|
|
|
|
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rdesktop manual page lists the possible options ("man rdesktop").
