How Do You Access A Windows Remote Desktop In Linux?
The “rdesktop” utility can be used to access a Windows Remote Desktop from the Linux operating system. A remote desktop is a way of controlling another computer over a network or the Internet. The “rdesktop” command is issued from the command line and can accept the name of the remote computer or the IP address. In order to connect to the Windows computer, the Windows computer must have “Remote Desktop Connection” enabled. Install the rdesktop utility using your distribution’s package manager. Open a terminal window, where you will type the following commands. Type the command “rdesktop 192.168.1.30” to connect to a Windows computer. Replace “192.168.1.30” with the IP address of the computer you want to access. Close the remote desktop window using the “X” button on the right side of the screen when you want to terminate the connection. Type “exit” to close the terminal window.
