I just purchased a VPS and configured a remote desktop, it works fine with Windows Remote Desktop. but it can't be connected with VNC viewer.
I assumed maybe RDs using different ports so executed netstat -tulpn | grep xrdp
in the server and tried ip:3389
, but didn't work again.
The server is running on "CentOS release 6.5 (Final)"
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3350 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 696/xrdp-sesman
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 692/xrdp

VNC and RDP use different protocols, so you can't connect to an RDP server with a VNC client.
xrdp
is a RDP server that manages a VNC server. In principle you could connect to that VNC server with a VNC client, but that probably isn't what you want.Use an RDP client instead. You don't mention the OS you need it for; on Linux, I've been using grdesktop, Remmina, rdesktop and a front-end for it, gnome-rdp.
I've found
grdesktop
too limited in the features it supports and the settings it can save. I'm using Remmina now, andgnome-rdp
with a simple wrapper aroundrdesktop
that will automatically share drives.
