Connecting into Windows Remote Desktop ?

**albertwt** · July 23rd, 2011

Hi People,

Is it possible from Ubuntu Linux to remote desktop into any Windows Server through RDP ?

I've tried using TightVNC it works from within the internal LAN but this is connecting from my home PC with Ubuntu over CISCO VPN client.

Thanks,
Al

Did you try using Terminal Server Client? It comes with Ubuntu by default, and should be under Applications-->Internet on the Gnome desktop. If you are using Unity, you can search for it in the Dash, or type

Code:

tsclient

in the terminal.

I keep doing this all the time using tsclient.

EDIT:
Oh, I missed the 'VPN' part. Haven't tested it for VPN yet.

I personally like Remmina, it does RDP and VNC
