xrdp - an open-source RDP server

Overview

xrdp provides a graphical login to remote clients using RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol). xrdp accepts connections from veriaty of RDP clients: FreeRDP, rdesktop, NeutrinoRDP and Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android).

As Windows-to-Windows Remote Desktop can, xrdp supports not only graphics remoting but also

• two-way clipboard transfer (text, bitmap, file)
• audio redirection (client to server, setver to client)
• drive redirection (mount client drives on server)

All traffic between server and client can be protected by TLS (depends on configuration).

Quick Start

Ubuntu / Debian

apt-get install xrdp

CentOS

yum install xrdp

Fedora

dnf install xrdp

• Building from sources

Credits

This project is very much dependent on NeutrinoRDP, FreeRDP, rdesktop and the work of Matt Chapman and the NeutrinoRDP team members, of which I'm a member.

Mark from up 19.9 was the first to work with RDP server code.

Environment

Tested with Linux on i386, x64, SPARC and PowerPC. I've got it compiling and working in windows with Borland free tools. None of the sesman or Xserver stuff works in windows of course.
