Question :
Is it possible to set a mac running MacOS Big Sur as a RDP (remote desktop protocol) host / server ? To be clear im looking for a Mac to Mac RDP solution not a Mac to Windows RDP, or Mac to Mac VNC / ARD solution. Any suggestions ?
Background :
RDP behaves quite differently to VNC (Virtual network computing) / ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), mainly in that RDP sends the information to be rendered into a graphical interface to the client, where as a VNC / ARD client views the host / servers pre rendered graphical output.
In practice this means that RDP can render a remote session to suit the client devices screen, where as VNC / ARD serve a pre rendered version of the host / servers screen to the client.
With RDP if you have a 15″ laptop screen and connect to a host computer with a 32″ screen, RDP will render a 15″ wide GUI to suit your screen.
With VNC / ARD if you 15″ laptop screen and connect to a host computer with a 32″ screen, VNC / ARD will provide you with a scaled 32″ interface on a 15″ screen. Eg. it just zooms out to fit everything in, but this means everything is tiny and not really usable.
