Remote Desktop (RDP)

Connect to your Windows BlaveClaw machine's desktop — for anything that needs a Windows GUI, not just the terminal.

Example: some brokers — e.g. Capital Futures (群益期貨) — require a Windows-only GUI tool (such as RAWinApp.exe) to issue a trading certificate. Remote Desktop lets you run tools like that directly on your machine.

Before you start

  • A running Windows BlaveClaw instance
  • On Mac: Microsoft's free Windows App (App Store — formerly "Microsoft Remote Desktop")
  • On Windows: the built-in "Remote Desktop Connection" (mstsc) — no install needed
1

Open the connection info modal. On the BlaveClaw dashboard, once your Windows instance is running, click "Remote Desktop Connection →" next to the terminal link.

Reveal and copy your credentials. The modal shows Host (IP:3389), Username (always Administrator), and a masked Password. Click "Show" to reveal it, or use the copy button next to each field.

Keep this tab open while you connect — you'll need to paste the Host and Password into your RDP client.

Connect with your RDP client. Open the app for your OS and enter the Host, Username, and Password from the modal:

On Mac (Windows App)

  1. Open Windows App → click + → Add PC.
  2. Paste the Host (IP:3389) into PC name, then click Add.
  3. Double-click the new PC entry, then enter the Username (Administrator) and Password from the modal.
  4. Click Continue to connect.

On Windows

  1. Search "Remote Desktop Connection" in the Start menu and open it.
  2. Enter the Host (IP:3389) under Computer, then click Connect.
  3. Enter the Username (Administrator) and Password from the modal when prompted.

Accept the certificate warning. Your first connection shows a one-time warning about an unverified certificate — this is expected (the machine uses a self-signed certificate). Click "Yes" / "Continue" to proceed; the Windows desktop appears.

Note: Your server gets a new IP each time it resumes. Reopen the "Remote Desktop Connection →" modal for the current Host before reconnecting.
