# rdesktop - A Remote Desktop Protocol client

rdesktop is an open source client for Microsoft's RDP protocol. It is

known to work with Windows versions ranging from NT 4 Terminal Server

to Windows 2012 R2 RDS. rdesktop currently has implemented the RDP version 4

and 5 protocols.

## Installation

rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure.  Typically all that is necessary

to install rdesktop is the following:

	% ./configure

	% make

	% make install

The default is to install under `/usr/local`.  This can be changed by adding

`--prefix=` to the configure line.

The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or

later. To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop add `--enable-smartcard` to

the configure line.

## Note for users building from source

If you have retrieved a snapshot of the rdesktop source, you will first

need to run `./bootstrap` in order to generate the build infrastructure.

This is not necessary for release versions of rdesktop.

## Usage

Connect to an RDP server with:

	% rdesktop server

where `server` is the name of the Terminal Services machine. If you receive

"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have

Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.

You can also specify a number of options on the command line.  These are listed

in the rdesktop manual page (run `man rdesktop`).
