Seriously.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNChihi. Thanks. "It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network." "The VNC protocol (RFB) is very simple, based on one graphic primitive from server to client ('Put a rectangle of pixel data at the specified X,Y position') and event messages from client to server." Compare to above. Now, the part where it defines that clipboard is also a standard part of VNC... oh, huch, it's not there! (Just a random note that Unicode is impossible, but not that clipboard is defined as part of the protocol at all.) Ah, I know... Surely, it must be on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFB_protocol>... No, same thing there. Strange.It should be strictly understood that something not being mentioned in the Wikipedia article doesn't mean that doesn't exist at all, since Wikipedia is _not_ authoritative information source. The authoritative information source would be the formal specification of the protocol explicitly defining the set of event types and explicitly prohibiting non-defined event types, otherwise implementations are free to define and use their own event types being in fact extensions of the protocol. It's defined nowhere that VNC is _exactly_ open-source IP KVM and nothing more.P.S. I was just reporting bug. I hope at least some software finds a better solution. Have fun.I'd suggest you find alternative product allowing you to explicitly configure that clipboard is not transmitted to the host under control instead of struggling with the product limitations and design flaws. -- Sincerely Yours, Dan. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
