Terminal Server Client (also known as tsclient) is a GNOME program for remotely accessing Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Terminal Services and XP Remote Desktop Sharing as implemented by the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Using the rdesktop program as a backend, tsclient allows users to access and view their desktops as stored on remote Windows NT/2000/XP servers.
This project has been superseded by Remmina.
Features include:
- A GNOME panel applet to quickly launch saved RDP files.
- Support for RDPv5 and rdesktop-1.3 arguments.
- Reading .rdp files in the MS Unicode format.
- Writing .rdp files in ASCII (for compatibility with the MS client).
- A “RDP picker” which lists .rdp files in ~/.tsclient/ and launches rdesktop from the rdp file when selected.
- Also supports:
- VNC clients (*vncviewer).
- Citrix ICA client.
- X via Xnest.
- Similar look and functionality to the Microsoft client and compatibility with its file format.
- Translated into more than 20 languages.
