Setting up SDT for Remote Desktop Access

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables the system manager securely to access and manage remote Windows
computers: to reconfigure applications and user profiles, upgrade the server's operating system, reboot the machine, etc.
Secure Tunneling uses SSH tunneling, so this RDP traffic is securely transferred through an authenticated and encrypted
tunnel.
SDT with RDP also allows remote Users to connect to Windows XP , Vista, Windows 2003 computers and to Windows 2000
Terminal Servers, and to have access to all of the applications, files, and network resources (with full graphical interface just
as though they were in front of the computer screen itself). To set up a secure Remote Desktop connection, you must enable
Remote Desktop on the target Windows computer that is to be accessed and configure the RPD client software on the client
computer.
