How to Configure an iPhone RDP App

An iPhone RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) App is a program that allows you to control your Windows computer from a remote location. Using the RDP App, you can control your Windows computer just as if you were physically sitting in front of it, making this a handy utility when you need to access files at your home or office. To configure your RDP App, you must have the static IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned to the computer to which you wish to connect. WiFi must also be enabled and connected to a valid wireless network.

  Unlock your iPhone and launch the RDP App by clicking the application icon.

• 2

  Touch the "Settings," "Configure," or "Edit Connections" option in the program menu.

  Touch the "IP Address" field and enter the IP address for the computer to which you wish to connect. To find the IP address on your computer, click the "Start" menu button and type "cmd" into the Search field, then press the "ENTER" key. Type "ipconfig" into the command prompt to display the IP address.
