By default does RDesktop use any encryption?

When you use RDesktop to remote into another computer, is it traveling over the internet unencrypted? How secure is RDesktop, or should another application be used?

Thanks

By default all the rdesktop connections are encrypted.

You can use -e, -E option to disable encryption based on your need.

Alternatively you can use ssh to connect to a remote desktop with x11 forwarding

Syntax: ssh -X user_name@the_server_IP_or_hostname.domainame
