RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables users to connect to and control a remote computer or server over a network. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to interact with the remote system as if they were physically present at the machine.
RDP allows users to access applications, files, and resources on a remote Windows-based system. By establishing an RDP session, users can remotely control the desktop, run software, manage settings, transfer files, and perform various tasks on the remote system.
This protocol is widely used for remote administration, remote support, and remote work scenarios, allowing individuals or IT professionals to access and manage systems remotely, increasing efficiency and flexibility in accessing resources from different locations.
