    Good Day All -
    When using the Remote Desktop on Win XP, how secure is our information as it flows across the web? Does using "https" (128 bit ssl I think) increase the security to an acceptable level if basic is inadequate? Last Q - Is Rem Dsktp as secure as a well encrypted VPN?

    Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.

    TTD - How difficult would it be to intercept info, using https? Would you be comfortable if financial info is relayed on a regular basis?

    Thx,
    Acktom

    NOTHING, is more secure than a 128 bit encrypted VPN. If its set up by a Network Security Pro. So if you want security, get the VPN connection between locations and then use your Remote desktop connection.
