2 rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.
3 ===========================================
5 rdesktop is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000
6 Terminal Services, Windows 2003 Terminal Services/Remote Desktop, Windows XP
7 Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal Services products.
8 rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 and 5 protocols.
12 rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure:
14 % ./configure [options]
18 where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help".
19 Usually no options are necessary. The default is to install under /usr/local,
20 this can be changed with --prefix=directory.
25 % rdesktop [options] server
27 where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. Note: if you
28 receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
29 Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.
31 The rdesktop manual page lists the possible options ("man rdesktop").
