Overview

xrdp is a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Server.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003 server, xrdp will not display a Windows desktop but an X window desktop to the user.

It can also be used as a VNC->RDP bridge.

Options

-k, --kill

Kill running xrdp daemon.

-h, --help

Output help information and exit.

-v, --version

Output version information and exit.

-n, --nodaemon

Start xrdp in foreground instead of starting it as a daemon.

-p, --port

Specify TCP port to listen to. This overrides port setting in xrdp.ini file.

-f, --fork

Fork a new process on a new connection. If not enabled, use a new thread for every connection. This overrides fork setting in xrdp.ini file.

--dump-config

Print the configuration on stdout before starting the daemon. The default is not to do this.

-c, --config

Specify a path to a different xrdp.ini file. This option is intended to be used primarily for testing or for unusual configurations.
