The Remote Desktop Protocol enables remote users to view and interact with Windows on a device located in another location. Your keyboard and mouse are shared with the remote machine, allowing you to use and control it as if you were sitting directly in front of it.
RDP connections require two components: an RDP server and an RDP client. A typical RDP server is the Windows PC or server to which you are connecting and controlling.
The client is a computer or mobile device that has an RDP client app installed that allows you to control the server. Microsoft provides its own client for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, as well as a variety of third-party options for Linux and other platforms.
RDP is a Windows-only protocol, and you can only use it to connect to remote computers and Windows Server installations that support it.
