Remote Clipboard data transfers
Figure 6-27 Transfer of data when a cut and paste is performed from a Remote Display Window to a
Local Window on page 160 shows the data transfer that occurs when a cut and paste is performed
using Remote Clipboard. In this example, the cut occurs from within the Remote Computer application
(as initiated from the Remote Display Window), and the paste occurs into the Local Computer
application (via the Local Window). When the cut is performed, the data that is cut from the Remote
Computer application is transferred to the clipboard on the Remote Computer. When the paste occurs,
the clipboard data is transferred from the Remote Computer clipboard to the Local Computer clipboard,
and then pasted into the Local Computer application.

The above demonstrates delayed rendering. Instead of transferring data from the Remote Computer to
the Local Computer when the cut occurs, the data transfer is delayed until the paste occurs. This reduces
network traffic by eliminating unnecessary data transfers.
Doing a cut and paste in the other direction (from the Local Window to the Remote Display Windows)
works in the same manner—the data that is cut is held in the clipboard on the Local Computer until the
paste occurs on the Remote Computer, at which time the clipboard data is transferred to the Remote
Computer.
