The Windows Remote desktop can be enable with the command line such as CMD and Powershell. Here we enable remote desktop using command prompt in Windows 10. You can use this method on all Microsoft Windows server and Workstation systems.

In Microsoft Windows operating systems, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that’s connected to the same network or the Internet. For example, you can use all of your work computer’s programs, files, and network resources from your home computer, and it’s just like you’re sitting in front of your computer at work.

To connect to a remote computer, that computer must be turned on; it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled. You must have network access to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. For permission to connect, you must be on the list of remote desktop users. Before you start a connection, it’s a good idea to look up the name of the computer you’re connecting to and to make sure Remote Desktop connections are allowed through its firewall.

Enable Remote Desktop using Command Line

To enable remote desktop using command line, you must have administrator permission in Windows. The command line interfaces, command prompt or Powershell, must run as administrator.

Enable remote desktop process:

1. Run Windows Command Prompt.
2. Execute registry command to enable remote desktop.
3. Enable Remote Desktop on system Firewall.
4. Test Remote Desktop Connectivity between two systems.

Let’s run the command prompt as administrator and follow the article to enable remote desktop with command line.

1. Type the below command to enable remote desktop.

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

The result must be the same as above screenshot. If you face any issue while running command, check the command structure and try again.

2. To disable remote desktop, just type the below command and run it.

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

3. Allow the Remote desktop on your Windows firewall system with netsh command.

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="remote desktop" new enable=yes

4. Now, you need to add a user account to remote desktop users group. To do this using the “net localgroup” command.

net localgroup "remote desktop users" Shais /add

The username “Shais” has been added successfully to “Remote Desktop Users” group. You can test the remote desktop user members with below command.

net user Shais

That’s all you need to enable remote desktop using command line on any Windows operating systems.

If you want to do all with a graphical interface, follow the below Microsoft step by step guide to enable remote desktop.

To allow Remote Desktop connections through a Windows Firewall:

If you’re having trouble connecting, Remote Desktop connections might be getting blocked by the firewall. Here’s how to change that setting on a Windows PC. If you’re using another firewall, make sure the port for Remote Desktop (usually 3389) is open.

1. On the remote computer, click Start and select Control Panel.
2. Click System and Security.
3. Then click Allow a program through Windows Firewall under Windows Firewall.
4. And click Change settings and then check the box next to Remote Desktop.

To share files using command line and manipulating is faster and more professional then GUI. Networking task has much command-line utility which works like a charm. With the following command line guide, you can do more than share files using the command line.

Preferably, you need to know the basic of command-line interfaces. In Windows, you can do it with command prompt or Powershell. Both of them works perfectly for this article. I prefer to use Powershell rather than a command prompt. Some commands are really needed to execute in Powershell.

How to Share Files Using Command-Line?

It’s not just sharing files. You should enable network discovery, enable the firewall, viewing shared files, and connecting to the share a folder or create a map network drive. So let’s do it step by step with Windows PowerShell.

1. Change Computer Name with Command

When your Windows installation has finished, at the final step ask you to set a name. In the network, if the computer name is not related to computer, it should be changed to find it easy. The Rename-Computer PowerShell command works exactly for changing a computer name.

Firs type “hostname” command to know the current computer name. Then type “Rename-Computer -NewName Win10 -Restart” and press enter.

In command, Win10 is the new name of my computer. The –restart switch will restart the system after rename.

2. Assign IP Address with Command

A computer in a network needs to have an IP address like a mobile with a number. Assigning an IP address to a computer, preform with Netsh command. I refer you to “Configure Windows IPv4 Networking with Netsh” article. Assigning IP address is covered clearly.

3. Creating Folder with Command

Creating a folder is not just performed with right-click and select New then Folder. Command-line has few commands to create a folder or directory. So let’s do it with mkdir or md command.

While Powershell is opened, type “dir” to list all directories of the current path. Then type

A folder named “ShareFolder” has been created. Type “dir” or “list” to see the created folder.

The “Ls” command is not working on command prompt, instead, use dir.

4. Share a Folder with Command

Now the folder is created successfully and need to share for the network. Before sharing a new folder, once type “net share” command to see what is shared currently on your system. Type net share and press enter.

There is nothing shared currently on this computer. So to share a folder, type “net share NetworkFiles=C:\SharedFolder /grant:everyone, full” then press enter.

• The NetworkFiles is the share name of SharedFolder which previously created with command.
• The /grant:everyone,full assign shared permission to everyone’s group. You can assign /change or /read permission.

Note: When you assign permission, you must specify the group name or a user name.

Type “net share” to see the result.

Well done, the folder has been created and shared successfully. Now go to the next step, enabling network discovery services with command.

5. Enable Network Discovery with Command

Network discovery is a network setting that affects whether your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer. By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can enable it with command.

To enable network discovery, type “netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”Network Discovery” new enable=Yes”

The Firewall rules are updated. Now the network discovery is enabled and you should see the computer’s name when executing “net view” command.

The net view is another useful command-line utility which shows network computers.

6. Connect to Shared Folders with Command

Now I’m on another Windows which is Windows 8.1. I’m trying to connect to shared folder’s of Windows 10 through the network with the command line.

While you are on the other computer on the network, type “net share” to  see network computers

Both Windows 10 and Windows 8 are in the same network. Type “net view \\Win10” to see the shared folders of Windows 10.

So let’s connect to shared folders of Windows 10 form Windows 8. Type “net use Y: \\Win10\NetworkFiles” then press enter to create a network map drive for NetworkFiles folder.

Here is the result of executing “net use” command. It shows network map drives. Read more about net use command on How to Create Map Network Drive In Windows 10 and Server? article.

Navigate to drive Y: and see what files the Windows 10 folder has?

Let’s copy some files from the shared folder to our computer with command. It performs by
“copy” command. Type “copy ‘Windows 10 Reports.txt C:\Users\Shais\Desktop” then press enter.

See the Windows 10 Reports text file has been copied to my desktop on Windows 8. You can copy files with the copy command. But to copy a full directory with its contents, use “xcopy” command.

That’s all share files using the command line. Hope you find this article helpful and replay to this question. Command-line is simple or hard?

Comment us your answer about share files using command and etc. It will help users to create more beneficial and helpful articles.
