# 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.

1. Control a client computer.

   See Controlling Apple Remote Desktop Clients or Controlling VNC Servers for detailed information

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.
