how to open remote desktop connection using robot framework?

How do i achieve below using robot framework. SSHLibrary is not of any help

Using Remote Desktop, log into the web server. Using Windows Explorer navigate to the /folder1 for the web (for instance, \abc\W\india\1.exe). Doubleclick on the executable file: 1.exe

Is it even possible ?

I believe, besides robot framework. SSHLibrary you need to install a SSH server in the remote windows machine https://serverfault.com/questions/8411/what-is-a-good-ssh-server-to-use-on-windows

hope that helps

The preceding answers by Bryan Oakley and A. Kootstra are what I would go for.

If you specifically need to interact with a Windows GUI application, you might want to try the Robot Framework AutoIT Library. AutoIT works pretty well for Windows GUI apps and is a whole language (BASIC-style) to itself. Otherwise, if it can be done via command-line, I'd go with one of their answers.

I would write a batch or powershell script that does what you want, and then write a robot framework keyword that calls that batch or powershell script.

Using Microsoft SysInternals PsExec you can open a terminal session to a windows box and execute commands like you would normally.
