Sometimes, there is a need to connect to a remote host that is running a X11 server with applications. Now connect with Microsoft Remote desktop to your Linux machine. If you have a firewall make sure that the 3389 port is open: sudo ufw allow 3389/tcp. Enable XRDP to start on boot: sudo systemctl enable xrdp.
#Microsoft remote desktop for linux install#
This feature is called X11 forwarding and is enabled using a configuration variable ( X11Forwarding yes on the SSH server, ForwardX11 yes on the SSH client) or a command-line switch ( -X or -Y).Īs X11 clients are powerful, OpenSSH allows specifying whether the remote server is to be fully trusted ( ForwardX11Trusted configuration variable, -Y option) or not ( -X option). After that install XRDP: sudo apt-get install xrdp. OpenSSH also provides an easy way to forward a X11 server over a SSH connection, so that remote applications can run on the local X11 server. It is nonetheless possible to encapsulate the X11 protocol in a secure tunnel (that provides confidentiality, integrity and authentication), such as a VPN. On a trusted network, it is possible to expose a X11 server on a TCP port.Īs the communication does not include encryption, this setup is not recommended as-is. Taking a screenshot ( import -display :0 -window root screenshot.png from ImageMagick) Reading and writing the clipboard buffers ( xsel command)
Reading all keystrokes ( xinput command, such as xinput test $KEYBOARD_NUM) Getting the PID (process identifier) which owns a window ( xprop _NET_WM_PID) Getting information about any windows ( xwininfo command, such as xwininfo -root -tree) X11 protocol allows many powerful actions for clients, such as:Ĭhanging the screen resolution ( xrandr command)
