What to do next
Verify that you can see the shared folders from within the remote desktop or application:
n
From within a Windows remote desktop, open File Explorer and look in the This PC folder, or open
Windows Explorer and look in the Computer folder, depending on the Windows operating system
version.
n
From within a published application, if applicable, select File > Open or File > Save As and navigate
to the folder or drive.
The folders and drives that you selected for sharing might use one or more of the following naming
conventions:
n
name on MACHINE-NAME. For example, jsmith on JSMITH-W03.
n
N on MACHINE-NAME. For example, Z on JSMITH-W03.
n
name (N:). For example, jsmith (Z:).
A redirected folder can have two entrances, such as Z on JSMITH-W03 and jsmith (Z:), and both
entrances can appear at the same time. If all the volume labels (from A: through Z:) are already in use,
the redirected folder has only one entrance, such as Z on JSMITH-W03.
Internationalization
The user interface and documentation are available in English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
If you are using a Ubuntu 10.4 Linux client system and you want to display the client user interface in a
language other than English, you must set the client system to use a locale that uses UTF-8 encoding.
Copying and Pasting Text
It is possible to copy text to and from remote desktops and applications. Your View administrator can set
this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from your client system to a remote
desktop or application, or only from a remote desktop or application to your client system, or both, or
neither.
This feature is available if you use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol.
Remote applications are supported with Horizon 6.0 or later.
You can copy text from Horizon Client to a remote desktop or application, or the reverse, but the pasted
text is plain text.
You cannot copy and paste graphics. You also cannot copy and paste files between a remote desktop
and the file system on your client computer.
