RDP – Connection via Remote Desktop Protocol
The Remote Desktop Protocol (Abbreviated as"RDP“) is a specification by
Microsoft for remote control of applications.
Microsoft has replaced the earlier name “M
icrosoft Terminal Server Client”
(Abbreviated as “MSTSC”) by the term RDP-Client.
A detailed description of this term can be found on Microsoft's website.
Likewise, it can also be found in the Windows-Help feature using the
search criteria “mstsc” and “rdp”.

RDP-Client <-> RDP-Server
Programs and data are stored on the remote computer. This is where the
program is executed and the data is accessed. This remote computer (Re-
mote PC) is identified as ”RDP-Server.“
However, data is entered and displayed on the monitor of the local “RDP-
Client.”
The exchange of data between the client and the server takes place as per
the "Remote Desktop Protocol."
