What is an RDG file?

RDG files mostly belong to RDCMan by Microsoft. RDG stands for Remote Desktop Connection Manager file. RDG files are data files associated with the RDCman application developed by Microsoft.

Main Use: RDCman, short for Remote Desktop Connection Manager, is an application used in the management of remote desktop connections on Microsoft Windows PCs. RDCman uses RDG files to save connectivity settings that include a collection of servers to which the system is connected. The portability of RDG files is a big advantage. A user can share RDG files with other users. This enables the receiver to quickly connect to the available list of servers thus saving time by avoiding the hassle of manually adding them.
Other Uses: RDG file format is also used to store data files associated with Morae software developed by TechSmith. Morae software is used in the understanding of customer experiences by recording user interactions, efficient analysis of results, and quickly sharing them. Morae uses its proprietary RDG file format to store video recording that can later be used to observe, log, analyze and share a user's experience and the reaction to the tested feature.
