Description

An RDP file contains settings for a remote desktop connection. It includes the server address, username, password, compression settings, dimensions of the remote desktop, and other values.

RDP files are supported by remote access programs that are based on Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services. Since they are saved in a text format, they can be viewed and edited with a text editor.
