PPLICATION CHOICES
Windows Terminal Server enables an application to be run simultaneously
by multiple users at different Windows PCs. Microsoft's RDP (Remote
Desktop Protocol) is its native protocol, which works only with Windows cli-
ents.
RDP5 (ActiveX) - RDP5 is the current version and provides session sound
and full-screen mode. RDP5 is only available in an ActiveX client.
VNC open source software can be installed on most server or workstations
for remote access. When the remote user wants to access the server, the
VNC client is delivered through the user's Web browser as a Java client.
The FTP protocol is used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet,
Unix, etc.). FTP includes functions to log onto the network, list directories
and copy or upload files. FTP operations can be performed by typing com-
mands at a command prompt or via an FTP utility running under a graphi-
cal interface such as Windows.
Telnet is a terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and
TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a terminal or PC to log onto a
remote computer and run a program from the command line.
SSH (Secure SHell) provides secure logon for Windows and Unix clients
and servers. SSH replaces telnet, FTP and other remote logon utilities with
an encrypted alternative, and allows a user at a terminal or PC to log onto
a remote computer and run a program from the command line.
Web browsers communicate with Web servers using TCP/IP protocol. The
browser sends HTTP requests to the server, which responds by returning
headers (a record sent by clients and servers communicating with each
other via the HTTP protocol) and files (HTML pages, Java applets, etc.).
