HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide

Remote Clipboard overview

Remote Clipboard was originally supported with RGS 5.1.3, enabling the user to cut or copy data

between a window on the Local Computer (the Local Window) and a Remote Display Window

(provided that both the Remote and Local Computers are running Windows, and the applications being

used support cut and paste, and copy and paste. Beginning with RGS 5.3.0, Remote Clipboard cut

and paste of ANSI text data is supported between Windows Receiver systems and Linux Sender

systems.

Beginning with RGS 5.4.8, the clipboard can be enabled to work on a limited permissions receiver

window for collaboration mode.

NOTE: For simplicity, the phrase “cut and paste” is used subsequently to refer to both cut and paste

as well as copy and paste.

At RGS 5.2, support was added for cut and paste between two Remote Display Windows (see the

graphic below).

Figure 2-25 Remote Clipboard operation

Cut and paste are supported in the following scenarios.

1. Between a Local Window and a Remote Display Window (in both directions)—The

Remote Computer may be running Windows or Linux. The Local Computer must be running

Windows.

2. Between two Remote Display Windows (in both directions)—In this case, the Local

Computer can be running either Windows or Linux; the Remote Computers may be running

Windows or Linux.
