TSplus Remote Desktop for Windows, Mac or Linux
Date : 2021-01-31
TSplus software is the easiest way to enable remote desktop and application connections from anywhere and any device. Offering both classic terminal server client and HTML5 access, our solution can be used on all Operating Systems from Windows to Mac and Linux.
Remote Access To Desktop via Windows Terminal Server
COVID-19 has brought a big change into the lives of people all around the world. Offices are decentralizing, as many companies are providing ‘work from home’ options to their employees.
Allowing remote access to office data and applications in a reliable and secure way has never been so essential and yet, so challenging.
Enable Access to Office Workstation from Home
RDP or “Remote Desktop Protocol” is an essential tool provided by Microsoft for allowing remote access to Windows pc. Using this protocol, users can connect to apps or desktops hosted and delivered by remote desktop servers.
Usually, data is exchanged in a relatively secure way between server and client devices thanks to end-to-end encryption. Of course it is also important to secure your network before initiating Remote Desktop connections.
All Windows operating systems include this free tool “Windows Terminal Services” = Windows TSE or “Windows Remote Desktop Services” = Windows RDS to open an RDP connection. However, the installation on the server side is complex and requires strong Network Administration expertise, not to mention hours for deployment. Unfortunately, in the current state of the world, time is a resource most of us can’t afford.
Companies worldwide need a quick and affordable solution to set up the best teleworking conditions for their employees and ensure business continuity.
TSplus Remote Desktop Software offers an easy-to-use alternative to Windows RDS to deliver reliable and secure remote desktop connections without breaking your IT budget. In fact, TSplus Secure Remote Access and its range of companion tools are a great way to optimize your network infrastructure and drastically decrease expenses in software and hardware. This is the technology you need for a smooth transition to teleworking.
Deliver Business Apps over the Company Network
Professional tools and techniques are evolving at the speed of light and businesses are forced to keep up with the constant innovations to stay competitive and comply with the new working habits.
Some legacy apps serve critical business needs like CRM or Accountancy/Billing, but are outdated or obsolete which can cause compatibility issues with current operating systems, browsers and information technology infrastructures.
This is where Remote Desktop software like TSplus steps in the game. It provides a simple way to publish business applications on a central server and to deliver them across your network to all your employees regardless of the device or operating system they use. In this regard, it can be your best ally in software deployment and international expansion as it eliminates the need of updating and harmonizing all hardware and systems to support a specific application.
All you need for the entire structure to work on your legacy application is to create enough remote connections. TSplus makes remote desktop administration and access easy.
Remote Desktop Software for Windows 10
TSplus remote desktop solution can be used with Windows 10; just install the program on the server, and generate as many clients as needed (from 5 to unlimited depending on the Edition you purchase). The software can operate on any modern Windows version: windows OS, from Vista to W10 pro and Server 2003 to 2019 with 32 or 64 bits. However, Windows remote desktop services must be uninstalled to prevent conflict with TSplus.
It is easy to centrally manage settings over the entire network thanks to the AdminTool.
On the client side, the user can easily open a session on a workstation by using the Windows rdp client. TSplus is always updated to stay compatible with the latest Windows versions. It works fine on all Windows OS, from Windows XP and W7 to W8 and Windows 10 pro! To know more about the hardware requirements, check the online documentation.
Remote Desktop Connection From Mac or Linux Workstations To Windows Server
What’s best, the software is also compatible with Mac and Linux Remote Desktop clients.
It allows remote to desktop connections to Windows machines from Mac and Linux using the classic Microsoft RDP method: “Remote Desktop client for Mac” or Linux Remote Desktop.
But the easiest way to connect to a Windows workstation from another Operating system is to use the Web Remote Desktop Client.
Web Access to Mac or Linux Remote Desktop
Some professional apps are only available for a specific operating system. For instance, Mac is probably the best platform for design and graphic software, when Linux is well known to be a more affordable solution supporting free and open source programs.
Your organization wants to provide its employees with the best possible tools, and therefore may choose to equip them with different types of devices.
However, they should still be able to access the company apps hosted on the central server! In order to avoid the hassle of installing multiple different programs according to the hardware, you can use a Terminal Server with a web Client. This will save you hours of setup and unnecessary investments! TSplus is one of these all-in-one solutions compatible with all operating systems.
TSplus Secure Remote Access includes its own built-in Web server and provides an HTML5 web client compatible with most common browsers: Safari, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Chrome...
It enables you to web enable your Windows Legacy applications and full desktops by publishing them in a snap on a Web Portal via the TSplus AdminTool. The sessions can be protected with web credentials (PIN code or email) and connections are well-secured with HTTPS and end-to-end encryption.
The web-portal is fully customizable with logo, background image, font type and color, etc. Several displays are possible such as the RemoteApp mode, Single Application or Full desktop.
It is now also possible to have direct access to the web Portal from the local desktop by installing the TSplus Web App, which is a Progressive Web App. It provides the same user experience as a local application! One click on the home screen icon and the user web portal is launched.
Thus, TSplus offers a multi-platform, multi-device, easy to use on Mobile and Tablets as well, with zero driver to install on the client side.
Which means that from a Macbook Air or a Linux workstation, opening a remote session only requires an internet connection. This is the easiest way to enable remote desktop access from a Mac or Linux to a Windows desktop or app!

Date : 2021-01-31
In the past few weeks, Microsoft has released an array of updates. This is always a precarious situation for those heavily invested in the Windows ecosystem, including the use of Remote Desktop Protocol with Windows 10. TSplus, a cost attractive and simple alternative to Windows RDS, develops weekly updates that specifically target compatibility and stability changes introduced by MS updates.
TSplus Leverages Remote Desktop on Windows 10
Windows Remote Desktop is a free tool which enables users to connect with a remote machine – a computer, a server - and to use the graphic interface from a distance. It creates a RDP connection between the windows terminal server and the remote desktop client for a stable, interoperable communication.
Remote Desktop Protocol is an essential tool for allowing remote access to a Windows pc and business applications from any location. It is the smart solution for deploying legacy applications on multiple devices.
Cloud computing can be simpler to work with and better to apply for distant workforces, but a lot of businesses haven’t migrated into the cloud, or even may not for regulatory or security factors. With Windows terminal services, users ‘ may simply use files and software saved locally on their remote computer.
TSplus leverages this technology to enable reliable and secure remote access to Windows 10 systems from any device. In fact, it can be easily installed on any Windows OS, from Vista to W10 Pro!
The centralized Admintool makes set up and management ultra-simple for a quick deployment over all types and sizes of installations comprising different hardware and OS. To check the many great TSplus features, visit the webpage.
Users can then connect using a connection client which can either be the Windows remote desktop tool or the integrated TSplus RDP Client, either the TSplus HTML5 client via any web browser. Which means that one is able to connect to a W10 environment from a MAC or Android mobile if wished!
Read the following article for more info on TSplus for Windows and the Online Documentation for a successful deployment from the start including setting the right remote desktop port and generating your own remote desktop client(s).

Announcing Remote Work V2, Securing Home Office with Two Factor Authentication
Date : 2021-01-31
Over the holidays, TSplus surprised its customers with a new version of TSplus Remote Work, just one month after its first official release. Remote Work is TSplus Corp's latest creation, developed to offer a quick-to-set-up and cost-attractive solution for home office, much needed in today's business world. TSplus is proud to introduce TSplus Remote Work V2.0 - Now with optional Two Factor Authentication.
Working at Home in Comfort and Security
As many organizations who have been forced to send their staff home for their own safety must have noticed by now, what is safe for employees might not be as safe for a business.
To start, setting up a full and operational office at home is not always a straightforward process. When it doesn’t require important hardware Investment, it does often mean hours of software installation and configuration. Then comes the necessity of granting access to the company server and applications, which can be risky for the whole network. Remote Work was created as an answer to these problems - it includes its own connection broker which enables the software to create a direct connection between a home computer and a desktop in the office, without handing your connection off to a third party.. This secure gateway ensures the privacy of the data transferred between the two computers.
A secure web portal allows the remote worker to access the console session on their own workstation at the office, and to perform any task they need using his professional tools in the environment he is familiar to.
Two Factor Authentication offers an extra layer of security for the web portal, restricting access with a two-step verification process with a personal device. To know more, check the product page. It is a common feature for any Cloud service provider, and it was mandatory to make it available for the Remote Work portal. With Version 2, it’s a reality.
Once 2FA is activated, the process is the same as described in TSplus’ online user guide. A 15-day trial is included in the downloadable version of Remote Work.
Easy Network Administration
The new version of Remote Work brings other improvements to ease the job of network administrators. Delivering software which is both powerful and simple to deploy is one of core values at TSplus. The complexity of the technology should never be visible to the user. As a result, Remote Work is simple to install and configure with the same intuitive user interface common to all TSplus’ products.
Without the need for specific knowledge or training, Remote Work is an effortless and cost-effective way for an organization to quickly transition to the home office.
Some new features are meant to further simplify the management of Remote Work:
- In case of expired license, the AdminTool automatically displays a warning pop-up at its first opening, with a direct access to the online store. A “Buy Now” button appears in the “license” tab, so the administrator doesn’t lose time looking for it online.
- When a new workstation is added to the Admintool, there is now a way to quickly check if the connection with the Remote Work broker is working. With a system of green and red indicators, one look at the AdminTool is enough for the administrator to see which workstations are correctly connected.
- A temporary “file transfer” shortcut is now automatically created when a Remote Work session is started.
All these changes can be found in the new Remote Work release and of course, more are to come. To update, visit the website.
Along with the latest version, a video presenting TSplus Remote Work in a nice Christmas spirit has been published. It takes 1minute to watch and gives clear insights on what TSplus Remote Work can do! Watch.
