RDP file download is an option that gives you an alternative way to access a Windows CloudShare VM with a public IP. CloudShare provides an external RDP file per VM, which you can download directly from the Environment Details page, save to your local machine, and run whenever you want to access the VM.
- In the Environment Details page, find your VM in the VMs List, and click the RDP file option for the VM. You will be prompted by your browser to open or save the file.
- If you choose Open, you will immediately be prompted to enter the VM credentials information. If you choose to Save to your local machine, you can easily connect to your VM at any time by running the saved RDP file without the need to log in to CloudShare.
