An open source remote desktop protocol (rdp) server
xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol(rdp) server.
Based on the work of FreeRDP
and rdesktop
, xrdp
uses the remote desktop protocol to present a GUI to the user.
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop
, freerdp
, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients
.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003/2008/2012 server
, xrdp
will not display a Windows desktop but an X window desktop to the user.
xrdp
uses either Xvnc
or X11rdp
to manage the X session.
