I can connect via ssh but not with remote desktop












1














I have two laptops, one with windows 10, and another with Ubuntu 18.04.1 (with gnome desktop, the default one)



On the Ubuntu laptop, I installed the ssh server and the xrdp server (enabled xrdp sudo systemctl enable xrdp, opened the firewall sudo ufw allow 3389 , etc.). On the windows laptop I installed winscp.



On the windows laptop, I can use winscp to connect to the ubuntu laptop. However the windows remote desktop application cannot connect to the Ubuntu laptop.



Any idea on why is this?
