#### A free Remote Desktop Client for Linux, macOS and Windows.

**Description**

Thincast Client is a free multi-platform RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Client with FreeRDP at it's core that allows you to connect to a Remote PC or to virtual applications and desktops.

It offers features like built-in support for redirecting webcams and smart cards, configuring remote apps, regular security updates and hardware-accelerated video decoding to extend the battery life of your device, ideal when working on the go.

As of today, we are the main contributor to the FreeRDP project. In the last months we spent days and nights looking for bugs and implementing new features, which directly benefit the further development of FreeRDP.

**How to install**

`sudo snap install thincast-client`

**How to run**

Start the application from the command line:

`snap run thincast-client`

or

`/snap/bin/thincast-client`

**Keychain, local removable media, microphone support, printer and video redirection**

When using Thincast Client with Snapcraft some features are not auto-connected and must be connected manually:

* Password Manager

`snap connect thincast-client:password-manager-service`

* Local removable media (CD, USB-Sticks)

`snap connect thincast-client:removable-media`

* Local printer redirection

`snap connect thincast-client:cups-control`

* Audio recording

`snap connect thincast-client:audio-record`

* Webcam access

`snap connect thincast-client:camera`

* Smart card access (requires a working pcsc daemon running on the host)

`snap connect thincast-client:pcscd`
