To utilise Windows-specific applications or perform administrative tasks on a Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS) from a different operating system, users can connect via Remote Desktop (RDP).
This article will guide you on connecting Windows VPS using Remote Desktop Protocol.
Follow the steps-
- Click on the “Start” icon on your computer.
- “All Programs” will appear.
- Search for “Remote Desktop connection (RDP)”.
- Input your VPS’s IP Address and Port Number into the Computer field, using 192.168.2.153:7575 as an example; replace it with your actual VPS details.
- In the subsequent window, provide your Username and Password, and then click OK.
- After clicking “OK”, ignore the SSL Certificate warning, check “Don’t ask me again for connections to this computer,” and proceed by clicking “Yes”.
Key takeaways-
- Irrespective of the Remote Desktop client or Operating System, you must input the Computer name/IP address:Port in the Remote Desktop Connection Window.
- Remote Desktop Connection is exclusive to Windows VPS or Dedicated Servers; Windows Shared Hosting users cannot connect to the Hosting Server using this method.
