This page shows how to install a Windows RDP server on CentOS 6 x64 so you can connect to it from a Windows desktop using mstsc.exe
You must have a CentOS machine already set up in accordance with the the “Install CentOS 6” guide.
To use Windows Remote Desktop with CentOS 6, run the following. It helps to have already installed VNC (but no need to configure it)
First install the EPEL Repository
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Then install xrdp
yum install xrdp -y chkconfig --levels 5 xrdp on service xrdp start
Run the following to get the firewall open
iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT service iptables save service iptables restart
