RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables users to remotely connect to and control another computer over a network connection. This secure communication protocol provides a graphical interface for accessing resources and applications on a remote system as if sitting directly in front of it.
RDP works by transmitting keyboard and mouse inputs from the client machine to the remote host while sending screen updates and system sounds back to the client. As a foundational technology for remote access solutions like TS Plus, RDP enables secure and efficient remote work capabilities for organizations of all sizes.
