Figure 6-26 Cut And Paste Computer Nomenclature; Figure 6-27 Cutting And Pasting Between Remote And Local Computers - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

As we've seen, the terms "Remote Computer" and "Local Computer" have very specific meanings in the context of
RGS. In the context of Remote Clipboard, however, we use terms that are centric to each computer involved in a
Remote Clipboard operation. If a cut and paste is being performed from Computer A to Computer B, Computer A
will refer to itself (for example, in the DEBUG LOG) as the local computer, while referring to Computer B as the
remote computer. This is independent of which computer is the actual Local Computer or Remote Computer from
an RGS connection perspective.
Continuing with the example of a cut and paste from Computer A to Computer B, Computer A is also referred to
as the sending computer or cut computer, while computer B is referred to as the receiving computer or paste
computer. Figure 6-26 shows this nomenclature. When discussing Remote Clipboard operation, we'll generally
use this nomenclature because it is independent of which computers are the Remote or Local Computers.

Figure 6-26 Cut and paste computer nomenclature
Figure 6-27 show a system consisting of three Remote Computers connected by RGS to the Local Computer. The
three desktops of the Remote Computers are displayed in three Remote Display Windows on the Local Computer.
In this system, assume the Local Computer user has just performed a cut operation on the cut computer (via one of
the Remote Display Windows). At this point, the user can do a paste to any (or all) of the paste computers. If a
paste is done to paste computer #1 or paste computer #2, this will constitute a Remote Computer-to-Remote
Computer (RGS Sender-to-Sender) paste because both the cut computer and the paste computer are Remote
Computers.
If the user does a paste to paste computer #3, this will constitute a Remote Computer-to-Local Computer (RGS
Sender-to-Receiver) paste because the paste computer is the Local Computer.
