Session Toolbar

When you are connected to a resource, you have access to several popular functions:

  • Enable/Disable fullscreen.

  • Download a file from the resource.

  • Upload a file to the resource.

  • Keyboard shortcut menu.

  • Remote clipboard. In most situations, copying text between the local computer and the resource happens as it would with any other web application. If this is not possible, you can use the remote clipboard:

    • To transfer text from the local computer to the resource, paste the text to the Remote Clipboard window. Once pasted, the text will be automatically stored in the clipboard of the resource.

    • To transfer text from the resource to the local computer, copy the text in the resource the usual way, and it will automatically appear in Remote Clipboard window.

  • Session information.

The location of Session Toolbar depends on the type of the resource:

  • In a desktop, Session Toolbar appears on the right of the screen.

  • In an application, the toolbar action icons are located in the right corner of the taskbar. If the running applications support tray icons, you will also see them there.
