Hi Steven,
I've never used RDC, I use Apple Remote Desktop 3.2.2, but I would
suggest you check out the "Help & How To" on the Mactopia Remote
Desktop Connection website.

"Connect to a server console session:
Important
To log in to a console session on a remote server that is running
Windows Server, you must be an administrator on the Windows-based
computer.
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection.
2. In the Computer box, type the name or IP address of the Windows-
based computer that you want to connect to, followed by /console (for
example,FabricamFileServer/console).
3. Click Connect.
4. Type your user name, password, and domain (if it is required).
Note This login method works only when you connect to a server that is
running Windows Server."
Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Rob.
I installed RDC, and the first thing that comes up when I launch the
application is a request for the name of a computer (giving examples
MyPC, name.microsoft.com, IP number).
Upon asking the question of a windows user what I might put in here,
the answer was "You can't connect until you succesfully make an SSH
tunnel connection".
What bit of software or what procedure do I need follow on a Mac to
"make an SSH tunnel connection" ?
Cheers, Steven

A company I use to host a web site and database tells me that to
ascertain what disk space I have left on the Virtual Dedicated
Server, I need to access the server by using RDP or the Server
Console. The host is a Windows based provider.
My understanding is that Apple Remote Desktop is an application I
could use, but as far as I know that costs, and my requirement is
non-essential and infrequent (more a nice to know).
Can anyone recommend a freeware application to do what I need?
I'm using latest version of Leopard.
Cheers, Steven
