Hi there @azadavsar,

Have you installed a desktop environment on your server? Also in order to connect via RDP you would need to have a service like xRDP installed as well.

What I could suggest is giving X2Go a try, here is a step by step tutorial on How To Set Up a Remote Desktop with X2Go on Ubuntu 20.04:
