RDP to a Mac?
Hi guys,
Anybody have any ideas for a free way to remotely control a Mac from a PC? I've gotten a request to upgrade someones Adobe suite to CS6, but I'd rather not drive 2 hours one way just to do that if I can avoid it. I've already copied the ISO to the local file server, so that's not an issue. I just need to be able to control the remote Mac so I can install the software.

I'm able to connect to a Mac from a windows machine at work using the normal Remote desktop connection client the comes with windows. Here's how that was done: Connecting Remotely to a Windows 7 Desktop from Mac OS X | 7 Tutorials -

Draught, OP wants to go from PC TO Mac. Although your wording recognizes this I have a feeling you said it backwards. Your link is to go the opposite way. I think Macs have an option to enable a VNC server so if you are on the same network it may be a solution. -

LogMeIn, Join.Me, Teamviewer, VNC.
Someone would have to write an RDP server daemon for OS X to allow you to connect to one with RDP, which isn't gonna happen. -
