Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a system and method for a remote Graphical User Interface (GUI). In an embodiment, a local computing system requests access to a remote computing system. In response, the remote computing system provides connection information to identify an appropriate GUI for accessing the remote computing system. The local computing system forwards the connection information to another local computing system to obtain the identified GUI. In one embodiment, the local computing system automatically downloads the GUI and accesses the remote computing system with the GUI.
