=== Auto Reconnect ===
To have the xfreerdp reconnect automatically after a connection timeout use parameters as in the following example:
{{{
xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:username +auto-reconnect /auto-reconnect-max-retries:40
}}}
Auto reconnect only works without the graphics and caching parameters shown below.

=== Change Keyboard Language ===
If your keyboard settings differ from the default, look for the id of your preferred keyboard layout with the following command:
{{{
xfreerdp-2.0.0 /kbd-list
}}}
And add the matching parameter ("Swiss German" in the example below) to your xfreerdp command:
{{{
xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:username /kbd:0x00000807

Advanced FreeRDP commands

Below, you can find some examples of connection setups made for different situations (network speed, audio, scaling, ...).

Auto Reconnect

To have the xfreerdp reconnect automatically after a connection timeout use parameters as in the following example:

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:username +auto-reconnect /auto-reconnect-max-retries:40

Auto reconnect only works without the graphics and caching parameters shown below.

Change Keyboard Language

If your keyboard settings differ from the default, look for the id of your preferred keyboard layout with the following command:

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /kbd-list

And add the matching parameter ("Swiss German" in the example below) to your xfreerdp command:

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:username /kbd:0x00000807 

Deluxe Fullscreen

Fullscreen mode, max. network speed, as many as possible decorations and animations, audio forwarded to your workstation

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:username /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /gdi:hw /gfx:rfx +gfx-progressive +bitmap-cache +offscreen-cache +glyph-cache /rfx /codec-cache:rfx -compression /bpp:32 /network:lan +fonts +window-drag +menu-anims +wallpaper +decorations +themes +aero +clipboard /sound:sys:pulse /f /multimon /span +toggle-fullscreen

Deluxe Scaling

Full HD resolution, scaling still possible. max. network speed, as many as possible decorations and animationss, audio forwarded to your workstation

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME /v:vela.ee.ethz.ch /gdi:hw /gfx:rfx +gfx-progressive +bitmap-cache +offscreen-cache +glyph-cache /rfx /codec-cache:rfx -compression /bpp:32 /network:lan +fonts +window-drag +menu-anims +wallpaper +decorations +themes +aero +clipboard /dynamic-resolution /sound:sys:pulse /w:1920 /h:1080

RemoteApps (BETA)

RDP file method

  • Connect to https://worli.ee.ethz.ch/RDWeb

  • Login with your nethz credentials: "d\USERNAME"
  • Download the rdp file of a remote application to a location you remember and give it a meaningful name, for example "notepad.rdp"
  • The following command starts the remote appication notepad.exe in a scalable window:

xfreerdp-2.0.0 ./notepad.rdp /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /gu:USERNAME /gd:d /u:USERNAME /d:d

'Direct connection by using an alias

  • Follow the procedure above to download the RDP file
  • Look for the so-called alias of the remote application in the line starting with "remoteapplicationprogram" of "notepad.exe"
  • Extract the alias after the two pipe symbols. In this case: 'notepad'.

  • The following command starts the remote appication notepad.exe in a scalable window:

xfreerdp-2.0.0 /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME /v:vela.ee.ethz.ch /app:"||notepad" /rfx
