4.6 – rdp.html
The /rdp.html page is the heart of the SparkView installation and can be used to connect to a remote RDP server. The connection runs entirely within the browser used, thanks to SparkView.
⚠️ Important!
Normally, the connection to RDP servers and applications is controlled via the portal. The direct call of the /rdp.html should only be used if a target is to be addressed once or temporarily and not saved.
After you open the page, you have the following options to configure the connection to the desired destination:
Tab „General“:
Ability to upload an .rdp file to establish the connection
Computer (IP address or host name of the target system)
Port
Username
Password
