You'll want to follow these instructions on your laptop and/or home computer, not on the on-campus desktop computer! If you have a Macintosh desktop at home or a Mac laptop but have a Windows-based desktop computer in your office, Microsoft also provides a free Mac version of Remote Desktop Connection please see Remote Desktop Connection in Mac OS X. (The instructions on the page you're reading now focus on the Windows 7 version.)
If you're using Windows XP Professional, please see Remote Desktop Connection in Windows XP instead. If you're using Windows 10 or 8 instead of Windows 7, please see Remote Desktop Connection in Windows 10 instead. When using Remote Desktop Connection from a laptop on a wireless network (including Purdue's A irLink network and free public WiFi networks in coffee shops, hotels, etc.) or a home computer on a broadband Internet connection, it's as if you're sitting at the desk in your office using your computer's keyboard and mouse - even if you're two buildings, two miles, or two continents away.īy remotely accessing an ECN-supported desktop computer and refraining from storing your Purdue files locally on your laptop or home computer, your data remains safely stored in your home directory on ECN's network servers - which receive daily backups.
Remote Desktop Connection, a utility included in all versions of Windows 7, allows you to use a laptop or home computer to remotely control the Windows-based desktop computer in your on-campus office or lab.
