FreeRDP: an Updated Remote Desktop Client
==========================================
FreeRDP is a successor to rdesktop, a longtime-favored application for use
on *nix systems to access Windows servers and workstations. The goal of
FreeRDP is twofold: a more complete support of keyboard layouts; and support
of newer Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) features found in the Windows 6.0
(Vista/2008) & 6.1 (7/2008R2) environments.
Support
--------------------
* Homepage: http://freerdp.com/
* Development: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freerdp/
Libraries used (Ubuntu package names - may not apply to all environments)
--------------------------------------------------
* Xorg-dev
* libssl-dev (OpenSSL)
* libcups2-dev (CUPS 1.3/1.4)
* libasound2-dev (ALSA)
Using git-master source
-----------------------
1. Install autogen, automake, and gettext.
2. "git clone git://freerdp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/freerdp/freerdp"
3. "cd freerdp"
4. "sh autogen.sh"
Compiling & installing (git-master or release)
----------------------------------------------
1. As a root-capable user, install what libraries you require.
2a. Stable users: download the latest release archive.
2b. Edge users: follow the git-master source procedure.
3. "./configure"
4. "make"
5. As a root-capable user, "make install"
The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding
--prefix=directory to the configure line.
Using FreeRDP
-------------
* Running xfreerdp (or relative binary) by itself will display help.
* Note that the server name must be the last option
* xfreerdp plugins expand features available by the software. They are
installed in (install)/lib/freerdp/ .
Examples of using xfreerdp
---------------------------
* Remote clipboard access
xfreerdp --plugin cliprdr -g 900x600 (server)
* Comport redirection & clipboard access
xfreerdp --plugin cliprdr --plugin rdpdr --data serial:COM1:/dev/ttyUSB0 -- -g 900x600 (server)
