Windows equivalent of rdesktop?

Post by BigFamine »

Heya, So at work I use virtualbox too boot a linux ISO, then I connect to a VPN, then I launch rdesktop

The linux shortcut looks like this

"rdesktop -Z -f -a 8 <site address dot com>"

What software would I use to to connect to said address with the same properties (ie -Z -f -a 8)

How would I connect to that from windows (i want to bypass virtualbox entirely

Thanks!

I assume your host is a Windows OS then. Windows has its own built-in remote desktop, (called Remote Desktop, uniquely enough :) ).
You can google its switches to see if any match the rdesktop's settings.
