A
389
B
80
C
21
D
3389
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that enables remote connections to other computers, typically over TCP port 3389. It provides network access for a remote user over an encrypted channel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Does RDP use TCP or UDP? Actually, Remote Desktop requires TCP port 3389 to be open. Also, opening UDP port 3389 enables acceleration since RDP 8.0 (e.g. Windows 7 with RDP 8 Update, Windows 8, or Windows 10).

Detailed explanation-3: -In most cases this is 3389-that’s the default port used by Remote Desktop connections.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you connect to a computer (either a Windows client or Windows Server) through the Remote Desktop client, the Remote Desktop feature on your computer “hears” the connection request through a defined listening port (3389 by default). You can change that listening port on Windows computers by modifying the registry.
