Option 3: Java Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) Client
We make this option available for people who use Linux
and other non-Windows, non-Macintosh operating systems. It
provides only limited functionality, however, and Right
Networks does not provide support for this configuration.
Various Java RDP clients can connect to the service. The
clients
properJavaRDP and
rdesktop, have been shown to work.
Supported RDP Clients
- Windows - RDP client version 5.2 or newer (version
6.0 or higher recommended).
- Mac - RDP client 2.1.1 or newer (version 8.0 or
higher recommended).
- Mobile Devices - Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 or
higher for Android or iOS. Other 3rd party RDP
applications may work, but have not been tested by Right
Networks.
- Linux - rdesktop builds will allow connectivity. If
you need to print we recommend using the TSPrint
rdesktop build located here:

Linux connectivity and printing is QuickBooks Payments has lower costs than Right
Networks, however technical support for these products
is limited to best effort troubleshooting.
