Remote Desktop (Windows)
Remote Desktop allows UWF employees the ability to remotely connect to their office computer from another computer.
Gateway Required
Remote Desktop enables employees working from home to access their office computer for saved files, software applications, and local and remote devices (e.g. printers). Remote users must configure their RDP client to use an RD Gateway. Please follow the instructions below.
