Has anyone successfully used XRDP/freeRDP to remote login to a Windows PC from a LINUX Client? I did some research on the matter and I found there may be incompatibility issues. However those posts were quite old.
I would like to use the latest XRDP or freeRDP
The site says the following:
"The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003/2008/2012 server, xrdp will not display a Windows desktop but an X window desktop to the user.
So it sounds like I can communicate between a Linux Box and Windows. But it sounds like the Windows PC can only be the client logging into a Linux Server and not vice-versa."
Is this true?
That's not true. You can using a freeRDP client in Linux connecting to a server on Windows. I've just tried the latest freeRDP code in Ubuntu, and I've tested Win7/Win10, both are OK.
Follow the instruction of freeRDP in the following link:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Compilation
and hope you make it.
Ps: There may be some connectivity issues, like firewall or something, just google it.

I need to access Azure Linux( RedHat 7) via RDP so that we can connect this vm in GUI mode. Please suggest how to achieve this.
To get RDP-like functionality with Linux using Microsoft Windows as the client, look at programs like Xming or X-Win32. You might refer to the CentOS Wiki on the subject: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xming
Essentially it is a three step process:
Install X system on the remote system (VM)
Install an X tool such as Xming or X-Win32 on the local system
Enable X11 forwarding on SSH tunnel (PuTTY, Bitvise, WinSCP, etc)
Be sure to include on the remote system useful X applications such as xterm.

Linux does not have RDP (that's a Windows protocol), but there are alternative solutions like xrdp. However, first you most likely need to install a graphical desktop environment like xfce4.
I have started lately using Apache Guacamole.
The problem I am facing is that I want to find a way to have Linux Remote Applications over RDP ( as windows RemoteApp does).
Is there any way to have just a single Linux application using xrdp or freerdp?
I have tried the initial_program option but this brings the whole desktop with the application running.
If none of them works is there any other way?
As far as I understand, in Guacamole, only via RDP there might be a chance to bring a single Linux app. Neither VNC nor SSH can be used for that purpose.
Firstly, I apologize for my bad English.
My purpose,I need get a some information from my Linux server.Example : Get CPU,RAM or CPU temperature.I know those commands on Linux Terminal Commands.
(free -m,df -lh).But I need connect on my Windows PC and open Chrome then go on "www.GETMYSERVERINFO.com" then i wanna see my server hardware information.How do I proceed?
I would recommend firehol/netdata.
Check this demo.
I'm looking at setting up a gitlab server (using a linux machine) with several devs on Windows PCs using it. I basically wanted to know if that's possible? I can't seem to find a definitive answer!
Thanks!
Yes, it's definitely possible. I'm using just the same - GitLab hosted on a Linux server while devs are on both Windows and Linux (VMs running on Windows).
Techically, there's no difference to it. You use SSH and HTTPS for client-server communication which are standard platform independent protocols. It's the same as using github.com, gitlab.com or any other such provider from any operating system.
The place I work has Gitlabs deployed can be on a linux server, while developers can be on either Windows or Linux desktops.
Git makes use of SSH and to connect to remote clients and Windows doesn't support SSH out of the box, however the installer for git comes bundled with all the features you will need to run a shell and connect to a remote server via SSH on windows. It also includes a basic UI, Git-Gui. You can download the installer from http://git-scm.com.
I created an EC2 Amazon Linux instance (yes, an amazon version of linux..)
it is launched but I can't connect using Remote Desktop...
am I trying to do something crazy here?
I got a message that Remote Computer is not available on the network
If you mean Windows RDP (Remote Desktop) that is your problem. Most likely you will need to use an SSH client to connect. I suggest Putty.
You should've received an SSH key when you setup your server. You will need to convert that key using PuttyGEN (same page as the Putty download) to convert it then use it with Putty to access the server.
Trying to walk you through the process of installing a GUI and VNC on the server is a bit much for here but give this video a shot. It seems pretty thorough and from skipping through it I saw no obvious errors in his process.
Try installing the vnc4server package. Then you can use a client such as TightVNC to connect from a Windows machine. You'll also need to open up port number 5900 in your firewall, which is the default for VNC.
You'll also have to have a desktop environment installed on your EC2 instance - by default you may only have the server packages which will not give you a GUI.
For your information, some folks posted remote desktop conf for EC2 instances.
