Title

rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client

Description

Overview

rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server and Windows 2000/2003 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT desktop. Unlike Citrix ICA, no server extensions are required.

rdesktop was initially written by Matthew Chapman based on various scarce documentation, wire sniffs, and trial-and-error. It is released under the GNU Public Licence (GPL). Please send feedback, bug reports and patches to the appropriate mailing list. Patches can also be submitted to the SF patch tracker.

The RDP protocol itself is essentially an extension of the ITU-T T.128 (aka T.SHARE) application sharing protocol. While as far as I know there is no publically available RDP documentation other than the rdesktop source, the following are links to relevant ITU-T drafts and RFCs:
