You can then connect, for example, with the command xfreerdp -d NTFI -u your_login ate.fi.muni.cz (The program will list other switches at startup xfreerdp without parameters).

The alternative is rdesktop : rdesktop -d NTFI -u your_login ate.fi.muni.cz . The size of the window is set with the switch -g . You can switch to fullscreen by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Enter.
