Switching Control Session Between Full Screen and In a Window
You can control a computer either in a window, or using the entire administrator
computer screen. The “Fit screen to full display” toggle button changes between
these two modes.
In full screen mode, the client computer screen is scaled up to completely ll the
administrator screen. In addition to the client screen, there are a number of Apple
Remote Desktop controls still visible overlaying the client screen.
In in-a-window mode, you can switch between tting the client screen in the window
or showing it actual size, possibly scrolling around the window to see the entire client
screen. For more information, see “Switching the Control Window Between Full Size
And Fit-To-Window” on page 89.
To switch between full screen and in-a-window modes:
1 Control a client computer.
2 Click the “Fit screen to full display” button in the control window toolbar.
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 le 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.
Controlling VNC Servers
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is remote screen control software. It lets a user
at one computer (using a “viewer”) view the desktop and control the keyboard and
mouse of another computer (using a VNC “server”) connected over the network. In this
guide, VNC-enabled computers are referred to as “VNC servers.”
