Hi Armin, Just an update, but the shadow server "may" be exactly what I need to use as my starting point. I can start it up on my Linux Ubuntu 18.04 system and then connect to the full desktop from a Windows RDP client. I have not tried to build the Windows and MAC version of the Shadow server yet to see if I can connect from other clients but it seems to have the directories built for this in the shadow server code so I will give it a try.
To compile the shadow server for Windows, do I need to use the MS Visual C++ or can it be cross-compiled with gcc/g++ via mingw 32/64 environment? Can you please explain more about the main purpose of the shadow server from the way that you have written it?
