Transferring the contents of the Windows clipboard
The Windows clipboard contains information that is cut or copied from another
application. During a remote control session, you can transfer text or graphics
that are contained in the clipboard between the host and remote computers.
Symantec Anywhere automatically synchronizes the clipboards on the host
computer and the remote computer if both computers use pcAnywhere 12.0 or
later. If you are connecting to a host computer that is running a previous version
of pcAnywhere, you should turn off the option to automatically transfer clipboard
contents. You can turn off this option permanently for all sessions. Or, you can
temporarily turn off this option during a session. You can manually transfer
clipboard contents during the session.
To turn off the automatic transfer of clipboard content for all sessions
1 Before you start a session, in the Symantec pcAnywhere window, on the Edit
menu, click Preferences.
In Windows Vista/2008 Server, the operating system might prompt you to
approve this action. You do not receive this prompt if you are logged on to
the built-in administrator account.
2 In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Remote Operation tab, uncheck
Automatically transfer host and remote clipboard content.

Click OK.
To turn off the automatic transfer of clipboard content during a session

remote clipboard content.
This action affects only the current session. When you uncheck this option,
pcAnywhere adds the Transfer Clipboard option to the navigation bar in the
Session Manager window. This option lets you manually transfer the clipboard
contents.
