Usually it is common to use the Raspberry Pi remotely via SSH access with softwares like putty. But what if we could access to the Raspberry Pi also via Remote Desktop as we can do for Windows, getting access to the GUI? That would be super-cool, isn’t it?

You just need to launch those two commands and you are ready to go:

apt-get update
apt-get install xrdp

Note: don’t forget that if you want to execute a Remote Desktop access from an external network you will need to open the port 3389 in your router settings, since it is used (by default) by the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), through TCP and UDP connections.

That’s all!
