rdesktop

Remote Desktop Protocol client. It can be used to connect the remote computer using the RDP protocol.

• Connect to a remote computer (default port is 3389):

rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} {{host:port}}

• Simple Examples:

rdesktop -u Administrator -p passwd123 192.168.1.111:3389

• Connect to a remote computer with full screen (press Ctrl+Alt+Enter to exist):

rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -f {{host:port}}

• Use the customed resolution (use the letter 'x' between the number):

rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -g 1366x768 {{host:port}}

• Connect to a remote computer using domain user:

rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -d {{domainname}} {{host:port}}

• Use the 16 bit color (speed up):

rdesktop -u {{username}} -p {{password}} -a 16 {{host:port}}
