There are three types of options possible:

For the purpose of documenting FreeRDP, the windows-style syntax is preferred over the posix-style syntax. However, many users tend to prefer the posix-style syntax and may strongly dislike the windows-style syntax, which is why both syntaxes are supported. On average, the windows-style syntax provides shorter command lines than the posix-style syntax. This is made possible by a generic and highly reusable command-line parsing engine that is part of WinPR. SyntaxįreeRDP supports two command-line syntaxes: the default windows-style syntax and the alternative posix-style syntax.

This is why FreeRDP is used on Windows, where mstsc is already available for free. The result is a compatible and consistent RDP implementation which is much more flexible and extensible than the original.

On top of this basic set of options, FreeRDP provides a large selection of extended options to fit all needs possible. The mstsc help can be obtained by launching mstsc with the /? option: Since this is a major change, backwards compatibility is still provided for the now deprecated old command-line interface.įreeRDP uses the same command-line syntax and options as mstsc as a basis, allowing a consistent interface between RDP implementations.
