But that was over a wired high bandwidth low latency connection. One needed to select 32-but colour to get a better protocol version and turning off double-buffering in some apps (eg emacs) helped. I’ve had reasonable success with xrdp on the server and a windows client. So this may be part of the reason: fewer people see Remote Desktop as necessary.Ĥ. And for web things you can do set up a socks proxy over ssh which I think can work for a lot of apps which are really just web sites.
Text editors can work ok in terminals, especially fancy modern ones with eg mouse support. You can also try mosh to compensate for high latency connections. A lot of the time for Linux the solution is to use ssh and terminal apps as they tend to make smaller updates and require less bandwidth. Very modern apps that use special apis to do lower latency scrolling/resize may be a little better.ģ. Looking at api use from eg X may help with old apps that make small updates but more modern apps (or even modern fonts) which just render to gpu buffers and composite are less amenable to this. There is some trade off of latency for bandwidth: it may take more time to figure out a small change to send over the network. I think the windows server implementation can take advantage of information about the composition of the screen from windows.ġ. I think it does a bunch of raster things (eg maybe caching floating windows like right-click menus). It has eg commands that correspond to scrolling regions of the screen to save on network use, a framerate limit (25fps I think) and allows some colour space reduction to reduce bandwidth too. RDP is not as simple as sending draw commands. Simply double click on the connection in the list and if you have put in the correct details it will log in to the server you have requested.0. Once finished click on the red close button up the top left and you should see your new connection in the list.
With the tick box below it, of you don’t uncheck it the RDP session will open up in a full screen and override those settings. Resolution – Change this to what ever screen size you would like the RDP session to open up in.Gateway – Leave as is unless otherwise instructed.PC Name – This is the server address that was provided to you.Connection Name – This is the friendly name, call it anything you like.Open up the the Remote Desktop client by clicking on the launchpad icon and then Microsoft Remote Desktop Step 3 – Set up your connectionĪnd then fill in the details you have been provided To do this you will first need to download the latest RDP client for Mac on the Mac App Store Step 2 – Open the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client Step 1 – Download the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client To connect to a Microsoft Remote Desktop, also known as RDP or Terminal Services from your mac please follow these instructions.
