Remote Desktop Protocol

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. The user employs RDP client software for this purpose, while the other computer must run RDP server software.

It facilitates secure information exchange between remotely connected machines over an encrypted communication channel.

It enables users anywhere in the world to access and control a computer through a secure, reliable channel. RDP is a safe, useful tool for increasing productivity in your business and giving your employees the flexibility to accomplish tasks in a changing world. In other words, when using RDP, one remote computer (the client) can access all the data of another machine (the server) through a network connection. This includes access to licensed software, saved files and audio information. It eliminates the need to be physically present to log in to a specific system.
