Apr 21, 2020 What is an RDP Client? Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a connection protocol developed by Microsoft to provide users with a graphical interface while connected to another computer over a network connection. The connecting user must deploy an RDP client software, while the receiving computer must deploy RDP server software. Xrdp is a free and open-source implementation of Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server that enables operating systems other than Microsoft Windows (such as Linux and BSD-style operating systems) to provide a fully functional RDP-compatible remote desktop experience.

To manage the Raspberry Pi over the network, it is also possible to access it remotely via remote desktop in addition to SSH and VNC. Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables the transmission and control of screen content over the network. This is particularly useful for Windows users, since Windows already has the appropriate client (Microsoft Terminal Services Client). In the following article I show step-by-step how to set up Remote Desktop on the Raspberry Pi and then access it using Windows/Mac/iPhone/Android.
XRDP is an open source remote desktop protocol server which uses RDP to present a GUI to desktop clients It provides a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and Microsoft’s own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
Difficulty level:
Schritt 1: Activate Boot to Desktop
First, the Raspberry Pi must be configured to start the (graphical) desktop after booting. This can be configured with a few clicks via raspi-config:
Select the entry »3 Enable Boot to Desktop/Scratch« and then confirm »Desktop Log in as user ‘pi’ at the graphical desktop«.
Step 2: Install XRDP Server
NOTE – Raspberry Pi with PIXEL desktop
Unfortunately, XRDP does not work with the new Raspbian Image right away. The integrated RealVNC Server and XRDP are in conflict and cannot be used together. To resolve this conflict, RealVNC must be uninstalled before installing XRDP:
After boot to Desktop has been activated, the actual installation of the Remote Desktop Server follows. Under Linux, XRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. We can install these directly using the package manager APT. When the installation is complete, the XRDP daemon starts automatically.
The basic installation is already done. In the future, the XRDP server will be started automatically in the background when the system is started.
If necessary, the XRDP settings in the files /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini can still be adjusted. However, this is not mandatory and may only be required in special applications. That’s why I’m not going to go into that.
Step 3: Reboot
A restart of the Raspberry Pi is recommended to complete the setup:
Windows To Linux Rdp
Step 4: Remote Desktop Client
To be able to access the Raspberry Pi remotely, we need a corresponding remote desktop client software on the client.
Windows
Xrdp Windows Client Download
As already mentioned in the introduction, Windows comes with a suitable client. You can find it under:
All Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection
Mac OS X
If you have installed MS Office for Mac, you will find the Microsoft Client at “Applications → Remote Desktop Connection”. Otherwise it can be downloaded via iTunes – Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Other
For other operating systems the following clients are available:
Android: Microsoft Remote Desktop
Apple iOS: Microsoft Remotedesktop
Step 5: Establishing a Remote Desktop Connection
To establish a remote desktop connection with the Raspberry Pi, we must first specify its IP address.
After we click on Connect, we get a login screen from the XRDP server of our Raspberry Pi. The access data are identical to those for SSH. If the user or password has not been changed under Raspbian, the default user is pi and the password is raspberry.

After successful registration we can already see the desktop of the Raspberry Pi after a few seconds and operate it with mouse and keyboard.
