DESCRIPTION

freerdp-shadow-cli can be used to share a running X display like with VNC but by using the RDP instead. It is also possibly to share only parts (rect) of the display.

OPTIONS

/ipc-socket:<ipc-socket>
If this option is set an ipc socket with the path ipc-socket is used instead of a TCP socket.
/port:<port>

Warning: If authentication is disabled everyone can connect.
Clients may view without prompt.
Clients may interact without prompt.
/sec:<rdp|tls|nla|ext>
