How do I connect to a VPS using Remote Desktop?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:15 pm

Remote Desktop is a feature of the Windows operating system that allows you to connect to a computer, or server, from a remote location. This is useful if you need to access a computer from outside of your office, or if you need to troubleshoot a problem from a different location.

To use Remote Desktop, you first need to set up a remote connection. This is done by opening the Remote Desktop Connection Manager in Windows Control Panel.

PRO TIP: If you are using a Windows VPS, you can connect to it using the Remote Desktop application. Before you can connect, you will need to set up a user account and password on the VPS. Once you have done this, you can connect to the VPS by entering the IP address of the server into the Remote Desktop application.

You will then need to enter the IP address or hostname of the computer that you want to connect to. You will then be prompted to enter your user name and password.

Once you have established a remote connection, you will be able to use the remote desktop features of the computer that you are connected to. The remote desktop features allow you to use the same keyboard and mouse that are on the computer that you are connecting to.
