 First, a secure tunnel has to be set up using ssh. The tunnel connects a local ''port'' to a remote port on a specific machine. The port we want here is 3389, which is the port of the remote desktop protocol. This example logs in to ''ssh.strw.leidenuniv.nl'' and sets up the tunnel to host ''texel'' (the terminal server of the Sterrewacht): First, a secure tunnel has to be set up using ssh.

 Give the connection a name that makes sense to you to remember. As pc name, fill in ''localhost''. This will make the app connect to the local rdp port, which is forwarded through the tunnel to the remote machine. Give the connection a name that makes sense to you to remember.
