Windows has a built-in application “Remote Desktop Connection” to connect to a remote server over RDP. Now open Remmina and enter the IP address of your Webdock remote server and connect to the server.Ī new window will appear asking for the username and password of the remote server.Įnter the required username and password (which is any valid sudo shell user on your Webdock server) and click the ‘OK’ button and you will be connected to the remote server over RDP. # sudo apt install remmina remmina-common remmina-plugin-rdp -y If it is not installed, you can use the following command in the terminal to install it. Remmina is an RDP client which comes pre-installed in Ubuntu.

This is a bit cumbersome but it requires the host to give access to a guest, making things more secure.

Alternatively, you can generate a randomized code to give to someone to provide tech support for your machine.

To connect to a remote machine, you can set up a device specific pin for secure access. Don't worry as Chrome Remote Desktop will walk you through all of that.Īfter the software has been installed, there will be an item added to your System Preferences pane. You'll need to set up your computer for remote access so you'll have to install a couple pieces of software. You have to install the extension from the Chrome store. Chrome Remote Desktop is basic but solid.
