How does a Citrix Receiver work?
Citrix Receiver is compliant with HDX Protocol built with the ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) Protocol. ICA protocol defines a way for data passage between server and clients. It sends keyboard and mouse input from the client to the remote server and receives screenshot updates on the client device. The traffic between the server and the client is handled by the receiver. HDX facilitates this set of processes by adding High Definition Experience to the Applications.
Upon visiting its download page, it automatically detects the Operating System installed and proceeds further with the desired Client software to Download. It connects remote devices including Citrix Workspace, Citrix Virtual Apps, Citrix Access Gateway, XenVault Secure Storage, and other Citrix services.
As of August 2018, Citrix Receiver has been replaced by Citrix Workspace app, which is similar to the Citrix Receiver and has the same functioning capabilities of a Citrix Receiver, as well as some additional functionalities dependent on your businesses and the Citrix Service being deployed.
