Sharing Clipboards for Copy and Paste

You can transfer data between the Clipboards of the administrator and client computer.
For example, you may want to copy some text from a file on the administrator
computer and paste it into a document open on the client computer. Similarly, you
could copy a link from the client computer’s web browser and paste it into the web
browser on the administrator computer.

The keyboard shortcuts for Copy, Cut, and Paste are always passed through to the
client computer.

To share clipboard content with the client:

1

Control a client computer.

2

Click the “Get the remote clipboard contents” button in the control window toolbar to
get the client’s Clipboard content.

3

Click the “Send clipboard contents to the remote clipboard” button in the control
window toolbar to send content to the client’s Clipboard.
