Tunneling Remote Desktop (RDP) Over SSH
Windows remote desktop (RDP) is an extremely useful way to have access to your computer’s desktop from everywhere. Suppose you need to connect to your work computer through RDP but your company’s IT staff configured the firewalls to block all remote connections accept secure connections (e.g. SSH). This is just an example scenario where you need to tunnel remote desktop over SSH.
In this hack, we’ll show you how to tunnel remote desktop connections over SSH, and how to remotely connect any internal computer by tunneling remote desktop through the main gateway.
