Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a multi-channel remote control protocol that allows a user to connect to a another computer running Remote Desktop server or Microsoft Terminal Services by using Remote Desktop clients which is built-in in most versions of Windows, and other operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. Remote Desktop also allows you to connect multiple RDP connections or remote control multiple computers or servers.
