Remote Desktop Protocol
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that enables users to connect to and control a remote computer over a network connection. It provides a graphical interface for accessing the desktop, applications, and files of the remote machine as if sitting in front of it. RDP is widely used for remote administration, technical support, and accessing work environments from home or other locations.
Developers should learn RDP for scenarios requiring remote access to Windows-based servers, virtual machines, or development environments, such as managing cloud infrastructure, debugging applications on remote systems, or collaborating with team members across different locations. It is essential for IT professionals, system administrators, and developers working in hybrid or remote setups to efficiently control and troubleshoot systems without physical access.
