# rdesktop - A Remote Desktop Protocol client
rdesktop is an open source client for Microsoft's RDP protocol. It is
known to work with Windows versions ranging from NT 4 Terminal Server
to Windows 2012 R2 RDS. rdesktop currently has implemented the RDP version 4
and 5 protocols.
## Installation
rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary
to install rdesktop is the following:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
The default is to install under `/usr/local`. This can be changed by adding
`--prefix=<directory>` to the configure line.
The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or
later. To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop add `--enable-smartcard` to
the configure line.
## Note for users building from source
If you have retrieved a snapshot of the rdesktop source, you will first
need to run `./bootstrap` in order to generate the build infrastructure.
This is not necessary for release versions of rdesktop.
## Usage
Connect to an RDP server with:
% rdesktop server
where `server` is the name of the Terminal Services machine. If you receive
"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.
You can also specify a number of options on the command line. These are listed
in the rdesktop manual page (run `man rdesktop`).
