When I install and configure the Linux server, I found this useful link. Hope you can benefit from it too. Thanks to idroot.
For those of you who didn’t know, xrdp is an Open Source Remote desktop Protocol server, which allows you to RDP to your Linux server. The protocol has more capabilities than VNC, like attaching local drives or printers to the remote computer. It is capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and remote desktop clients on other platforms. If you are looking for something similar to remote desktop for CentOS, you are in luck, XRDP is the answer.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple. I will show you through the step by step installation xrdp on centos 7.
Step 1. First, Install EPEL repository packages.
