    RDP (or alternative) update resolution to client window size


    Hi

    Can anyone either advise how to configure RDP or suggest an alternative program that allows me to update the resolution of the host/target machine to match the size of the RDP client session window?

    I want to be able to move and resize the session window to fit to part of my display i.e. snap to half and stretch etc without having to disconnect, configure a new resolution and reconnect each time.

    I'm aware RDP supports scaling with "smartsizing" but that just makes everything small and hard to view.

    For example, if the client window (1280x1440) takes up half my display (2560x1440) I would expect the host resolution to be 1280x1440 without any scaling.

    I have a feeling this is not supported by anything but happy to be surprised.

    Thanks.

    Increasing RDP connection resolution over the recommended resolution

    Hi, thanks for the advice

    The computer from which I am remote controlling has a 2560 x 1600 resolution monitor, and it would be very helpfull to fit more windows inside the RDP session.

    Will increasing the RDP resolution be the best solution or are there other alternatives?

    Unable to connect to Windows PC using the RDP client for iOS

    I use RDP client for iOS on an iPhone 7 plus and connect to a Windows 10 PC. Choosing the 1364x768 resolution, everything works fine.

    One time, I choosed the 2501x1406 resolution and the login process sticked before the login screen with a message that the number of connections is limited and all connections are in use (that is 1 connection for Windows 10).

    I can no more login over RDP, also from a PC or iPad. The Windows 10 PC is headless. The only way out, up to now, is to restart the Windows 10 PC.

    1. I would use the native iPhone 7 plus full HD resolution but this is not foreseed for the Microsoft iOS RDP client.

    2. Is there an elegant way out from this issue?

    rdp client

    I haven seen a good or bad, free or commercial RDP client for S60.

    Would an SSH client do?
