Can RStudio Desktop be used as a client to RStudio Server? (instead of the web interface)

I am aware that I can use RStudio server on my remote machine, and connect to that via a web browser on my client machine.

However, I would prefer not to use my web browser. Is it possible to set up RStudio Desktop to connect to the RStudio Server?

Many thanks

There is an alternative: create Rstudio Server webapp.

This is how I did it:

  1. Login to the rstudio server from the browser using serverip:8787

  2. On the menu bar, go to File (or Tools in some cases) -> Create application shortcut. This dialogue box will appear: Rstudio shortcut

  3. Add it to your desktop by selecting and run it as if you're running rstudio desktop version. Rstudio webapp screenshot
