RDS Linux Advanced
The simplest method to connect from a managed Linux client to the D-ITET terminal server is by issuing the command
win.start
in the terminal. Further options of win.start can be shown with
win.start --help
The wrapper win.start is a simple bash script, it's content may be inspected at /usr/pack/xfreerdp-2.x.x-sr/amd64-debian-linux10/bin/win.start. It uses most of the advanced options shown below.
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.x.x /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.x.x /kbd-list
And add the matching parameter ("Swiss German" in the example below) to your xfreerdp command:
xfreerdp-2.x.x /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.x.x /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME /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.x.x /v:SERVERNAME.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME /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.x.x ./notepad.rdp /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 application notepad.exe in a scalable window:
xfreerdp-2.x.x /g:worli.ee.ethz.ch /v:satch9.ee.ethz.ch /d:d /u:USERNAME /app:"||notepad" /rfx
