When accessing a host machine using Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) that has a bigger screen that the client machine, is it possible to scale the clients view so that their remote desktop window is actual size for their computer ?
EG. if the host has a 24" display, but the client has a 13" laptop display ARD would scale the view on the client machine, so that it would look like the host machine also had a 13" display.
Microsoft remote desktop on OSX dose a similar thing and ive found it really useful. I think the way it achieves this is only by locking the host screen so that it can rescale the view on the host.
Best Answer
View menu > Fit in Window, or the indicated icon on the appropriate remote screen
Then you can make the window any size you like & the contents will always fit.
This is done client-side so the host's desktop is not re-distributed at random, similar to how Microsoft's Mac version of RDC does it.
Just for fun... this is how small it will go
