Add a wake on lan feature to Remote Desktop where it would send a WOL packet and wait till the machine comes up and connects to it.

Anydesk supports WOL when remote machine is not able to access..

Does remote desktop for mac supports WOL?

If not, any plans to add WOL feature in remote desktop for mac?

I would like to see this feature implemented in the RDP app as well. 

 

Right now I have to us another program for it, should be a simple feature to implement.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I'm reviving this topic. Indeed it would be super interesting to be able to use the Wake On Lan functionality directly from the application.

This would make the user experience much better and allow you to take full advantage of the potential of this application.

Also would like WoL in RDP app (iOS in particular).

Could easily be a setting in each connection (place to enter MAC to send magic packet, etc.)
