The Remote Desktop client allows computers running the Amiga OS 4 or Amiga OS 3.x Operating Systems to connect to Microsoft Windows XP Pro, 2000 Server (with Terminal Services installed), or Windows 2003 Server for remote management and operability.
Amazing program! Downloaded it to my 1200 3.0 AGA, unpacked it and was connected to the XP machine in less then 30 sek! Thats the way a program should be!
Remote desktop is a key piece of software for a truly useable modern Amiga (along with a good VNC variant). Now you can suft all those sites Ibrowse cant handle (btw Amiga needs Firefox BADLY).
Great work!

Actually while I think about it, this should be a program that is bundled with OS4 when it goes final and commercial. It would be a great thing to have especially while the AmigaOS is lacking in a good modern browser etc. Fills the gap, you can use the ultra slim OS4 without having to lose the wide availability of Windows.

The current plan is to put it on the final OS4 CD as a Contribution. I will have to see if it is possible to make it part of the OS4 installation, or perhaps as an optional component. First we need to get it compiled and working with AmiSSL V3 (for OS4).
As for a WarpUP version...the source is available...to an experienced programmer I doubt it would be that hard.
