RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol. It is a protocol developed by Microsoft that allows a user to remotely access and control a computer. RDP works by connecting the user's device, such as a laptop or smartphone, to the remote computer over the internet. The user is then able to interact with the remote computer as if they were physically sitting in front of it, using the keyboard, mouse, and display of their device.
RDP uses a combination of encryption and authentication to secure the connection between the user's device and the remote computer. Once connected, the RDP client software on the user's device sends input and display commands to the remote computer and receives the corresponding output. This allows the user to run programs, access files, and perform other tasks on the remote computer as if they were locally logged in.
