# RDP Terminal

> Browser-based Remote Desktop sessions to Windows PCs and servers.

ProxyLink includes a browser RDP terminal powered by Apache Guacamole — no RDP client needed.

## Connect via RDP

1. Click **RDP** next to a Windows PC or server in your Devices page
2. The RDP session opens in the browser
3. Enter Windows credentials if prompted

<Note>
  RDP authenticates against the PC's own Windows user account, so that account **must have a password set** — Windows blocks Remote Desktop (and all network logons) for blank-password accounts. If RDP won't connect to a freshly deployed machine, set a password on its Windows user and try again. This is Windows behavior, not a ProxyLink setting — unlike VNC, whose per-device password ProxyLink sets automatically.

## Features

* Full-screen mode
* Minimize to floating bar (session stays alive while you use other tabs)
* Clipboard sharing
* Multi-monitor support for Windows PC tunnels (select monitor from the RDP toolbar)
* **File transfer** — the **📁 Files** button in the RDP toolbar lets you upload, download, and browse files during a session (no separate share or drive mapping needed). Available on authenticated RDP sessions; not offered on shared access links.

## Screen sharing

Share your RDP session with a client or colleague:

1. Click **Share** in the RDP toolbar
2. Send the generated link
3. The recipient joins as a view-only observer — they can see the screen but cannot interact

## Session recording

Enable recording on the proxy link to capture RDP sessions as `.guac` binary files. Playable from the Recordings page.

<Note>
  RDP recording requires the `disable-gfx=true` parameter (set automatically by ProxyLink). This disables H.264/GFX pipeline so guacd captures all frames correctly.
