Raspbian RealVNC and Microsoft Remote Desktop

[E3000]

Hello friends, first time poster here, although I read these forums quite often

Up until recently I have always used Microsoft Remote Desktop to manage my Raspbian running xRDP and TightVNCServer. With a recent reinstall (and also from reading up) I see that RealVNC is now the default and xRDP+TightVNCServer no longer need be installed. My only problem is RealVNC does not seem to be compatible with Microsoft Remote Desktop!

I'd like to know if there is a way to make this work and if it is possible to use this Microsoft Remote Desktop instead of the RealVNC viewer.

Thanks in advance

Not sure it is possible? Maybe try turning off encryption...
But why?

RVNC viewer is much better.
- Much more secure connection
- Copy & Paste works
- There is a built in file transfer tool.
- auto reconnect on RPi reboot.
- User and password can be saved for 1 click access.
- The optional cloud service allows connection from anywhere

RealVNC viewer is not available on Windows RT. My Surface RT's only use is to manage my Pi's.

I understand your need. This is what I have done in the past, I have not verified it on the latest raspbian released image.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove xrdp vnc4server tightvncserver realvnc-vnc-server -y
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver xrdp -y

I guess this is the way to go, just keep it as before, as there doesn't seem to be any way to use the newer software.
