And Linux machines through the desktop (or remote desktop).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tool makes it possible for the graphical client for Linux (for this tutorial we\u2019ve taken Debian 7) to open a TSE session or Remote Desktop on a client machine or a Windows Server TSE. Here, we will see how simple it is:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enable Remote Desktop (we are assuming that you are using Windows 8):<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, allow remote desktop connection on your machine. (In the case of another type of Windows edition then enabling a remote desktop connection will be different). Right-click on the Windows icon at the bottom left and then go-to system:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Now, go to \u201cSettings for using Remote Desktop\u201d<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Tick the button \u201cAllow Remote Desktop Connections\u201d and uncheck the box \u201cAllow only the connection from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended)\u201d.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: Network Level Authentication (in short NLA) is a specific authentication between two Windows machines. This is a small authentication window that is often encountered when installing a network drive manually by instance. A Linux client does not support this authentication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Using rdesktop<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your information, rdesktop tool is present on most of Linux distributions with a graphical interface, though it is possible to install it if it\u2019s not the case:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">| apt-get install rdesktop\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To launch it, nothing simpler, enter the following command, if my Windows machine has the IP 10.10.10.10 just for the example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">| rdesktop 10.10.10.10 \u2013f\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little trick to exit full-screen mode, you must enter CTRL + ALT + ENTER. Though, this can be risky, because it can directly specify the username and password in the command line with the options u and p that you can select the user without specifying his\/her word Password:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">| rdesktop 10.10.10.10 \u2013u username \u2013p password\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Incoming searches related to Remote Desktop Linux with rdesktop<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>linux rdesktop server<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop command line options<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop example<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop full screen<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop vista<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop sound<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop full screen minimize<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>linux rdesktop send ctrl-alt-delete<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we will look at a bit of connection and communication between Windows machines.
