Remote desktop connection is a client connection that allows you to view or even control the desktop session on another machine that is running a compatible virtual networking computing (VNC) server. You would typically use Remote Desktop Connection with the KDE VNC server, which is Desktop Sharing, since it closely matches the special features of Remote Desktop Connection.
