Open Source C Remote Desktop Software for Linux

TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

TightVNC is an improved version of VNC, great free remote-desktop tool. The improvements include bandwidth-friendly "Tight" encoding, file transfers in the Windows version, enhanced GUI, many bugfixes, and more.

xrdp provides a graphical login to remote machines using RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol). xrdp accepts connections from a variety of RDP clients: FreeRDP, rdesktop, NeutrinoRDP and Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android). As Windows-to-Windows Remote Desktop can, xrdp supports not only graphics remoting but also two-way clipboard transfer (text, bitmap, file), audio redirection, drive redirection (mount local client drives on a remote machine). Connect to a Linux desktop using RDP from anywhere (requires xorgxrdp Xorg module). Reconnect to an existing session. Session resizing (both on-connect and on-the-fly). RDP/VNC proxy (connect to another RDP/VNC server via xrdp). xrdp primarily targets GNU/Linux operating system. x86 (including x86-64) and ARM processors are most mature architecture to run xrdp on. Most Linux distributions should distribute the latest release of xrdp in their repository.

Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol client that implements RDP following the documentation provided under the Microsoft Open Specification Promise.

RAT (Remote Assistance Tool) is a Java Application designed for end user support and remote desktop control based on VNC. It is useable through nat devices and firewalls by connecting the communication end partners through a proxy server.

Terminal Server Client [tsclient] is a GTK2 frontend for rdesktop and other remote desktop tools. This project has been superseded by Remmina - https://sourceforge.net/projects/remmina/

Lan Core is a free & open source software that lets you to build a thin client network on a Windows operating system. It was originally designed to work in a server or workstation with Windows XP Professional using the native remote desktop protocol.

Cross-platform open source software for astrophotography based on Qt and libgphoto2. Main target is ARM systems like Raspberry and OrangePi.

GRemoteDesktop is a Gnome GUI wrapper for remote control of computers supporting many protocols. (VNC, Remote Desktop, ssh)

Nettunnel is a project that allows redirect TCP service in firewalled machine via non-firewalled server. Nettunnel_rdp is just a simplified test project that is suitable only for some protocols for example RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)

Remmina has moved away from SourceForge in favor of GitLab and it's own domain. Thanks a lot for your understanding and we look forward to seeing very soon on: http://www.remmina.org/ https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina

Control your IoT board with a graphical interface from your local network. CNatural is a remote desktop for embbeded systems and IoT boards without running a real desktop on the host platform, this makes CNatural more efficient than other remote desktop managers. Because all rendering and applications runs on the client's web browser, the host board will run fast as usual. This was a problem with the original target of the project: the Intel® Galileo board, which when used with a desktop and a remote desktop manager gets slow and becomes unusable. CNatural is a text-server with a graphical front-end, this means that the host board will never need to render anything.
