xfreerdp: Connect to a FreeRDP server.
$ xfreerdp /u:${username} /p:${password} /v:${ip_address}
try on your machine
This command is used to remotely connect to a Windows computer using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client called xfreerdp. Here is the breakdown of the command's components:
- xfreerdp: It is the name of the RDP client executable.
- /u:${username}: It specifies the username used for authentication during the remote connection. The
${username}is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual username you want to use. - /p:${password}: It sets the password for the user. Similar to the username,
${password}is a placeholder for the actual password. - /v:${ip_address}: It specifies the IP address or hostname of the Windows computer you want to connect to. Similar to the previous placeholders,
${ip_address}should be replaced with the actual IP address of the target machine.
By running this command with the actual values for username, password, and IP address, the xfreerdp client will attempt to establish an RDP session to the specified computer using the provided credentials.
