I have seen remakes of RealVNC such as UltraVNC etc, does anyone have any secure and fast RDP software that is freeware?

TightVNC is free. I use that quite a bit.
Erm... what OS are you using? If Windows where is the problem?
is this for a windows 2000 / 2003 server?
oh and your sig

in theory you have twice the chance of losing your data.
RDP is not VNC. They're two different things that do a similar job, but they're in no way interchangeable.
A VNC client won't let you control an RDP session, and vice versa.
None of the VNC-based solutions are as fast or responsive as RDP, due to the way they each work. IMO, RDP is miles better than VNC.
Depends what your trying to do, if its just to connect to your home pc remotely then UltraVNC is cool. LogMeIn is also good for doing this if your not sure on configuring your router.
If its to remotely fix clients pc's, the Ultravnc guys do a slightly different application called PCHelpware which works a treat (you dont have to set the clients port forwarding up or anything) - however it can be a bit complicated to setup initially (creating an *.exe for them to download + host).
true RDP is end to end encrypted as well#.
As others have said - whats the problem with the built in windows remote desktop client? Works perfectly..and theres even an official OSX version of it too which also works great![]()
RemoteAdmin works a treat.
Always Busy
Oh how I wish Microsoft would just implement openSSH...
RDP is great for remote desktop access - fast and (reasonably) secure. For once Microsoft did something half way right!
VNC is fine on a secured lan, but is not secure to use over the net and is slower than RDP.
^^ Pretty much what's be said above![]()

netmeetings quite good for connecting to someones pc without them knowing anything about their router. rdp is nice, but for windowsxp it sucks, you have to patch it so u can connect as well as the person using the pc, otherwise they need to log off. and realvnc is good one to use too.
I use RDP, much prefer it to any of the VNC offerings.
