No. Remote desktop meaning you want a graphical environment? Use krdc or something. PuTTy is SSH, which is text-based.

I don't have first hand experience with it. But, from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install krdc
Will grab and install it for you. It should be self-explanatory.

for remote desktop you are better off using VNC

ssh access is for CLI only, which is quite enough for a linux server
