For system administrators, CoRD creates a simpler workflow by allowing you to save server information, then quickly connect to that server by using HotKeys or the server drawer. The clipboard is automatically synchronized between CoRD and the server. Enter full screen mode and feel like you're actually at the computer. Scale session windows to whatever size fits you-the screen is resized automatically. CoRD allows you to view each session in its own window, or save space with all sessions in one window. Great for working on the office terminal server, administrating servers or any other time you'd like your PC to be a bit closer without leaving your Mac. Macs interact well with Windows, and with CoRD the experience is a bit smoother. Here is CoRD's description quoted from its SourceForge website: CoRD: Simple RDP Remote Desktop
OPEN SOURCE APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP MAC OS X
To have CoRD working you will need as a minimum requirement Mac OS X version 10.5 or later.
OPEN SOURCE APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP FOR MAC OS X
Contacting her cousin to ask for the password was a time eater as well as I was lazy to create new appstore account (plus I always prefer to use free software alternative when possible) … did a quick search in Google whether there is some Open Source / Free Software Remote Desktop Client for Mac OS X and I found CoRD – Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers using the RDP protocol.ĬoRD was originally ported from UNIX program rdesktop. I tried installing the clicking it but it seemed my wife, didn't know her AppStore as it was her cousin which earlier configured her Mac OS PC on laptop initial install time.
However I didn't find direct port of em, neither there is default integrated RDP Client on Mac OS X, thus after researching a bit further I tried installing the first returned result in Google which was leading to Apple's AppStore – Apple – Remote Desktop. I also looked if there is Mac OS X version of Linux's rdesktop (command) or RDP Linux GUI remmina (yes there is way to invoke remote desktop on Windows from command line 🙂 ): I looked in google to see if there is some default RDP (remote desktop protocol) client like MS Windows remote desktop command line client, i.e. I was just recently in that situation as we were guests to a friend in Shabla village nearby Sea coast and the only near PC, I had was my wife's MacBook Air running Mac OS X.
If you're admin using Mac OS X Desktop or casually on a place where you have no access to a Windows / Linux PC (only have access to your girlfriend of wife MAC OS notebook) and you need to administrate Windows hosts remotely out of office hours (from home), you will need some remote desktop client for Mac OS X.
