Clipboard redirection

Contributed by:

Clipboard redirection lets you copy and paste data between applications that are running in the VDA session and applications running on the client device.

This article describes the available Citrix policies that allow you to achieve clipboard redirection.

Citrix policies for clipboard redirection

Client clipboard redirection

This setting allows or prevents the clipboard on the client device being mapped to the clipboard on the VDA.

By default, clipboard redirection is set to Allowed.

To prevent copy-and-paste data transfer between a session and the local clipboard, select Prohibited. Users can still copy and paste data between applications running in sessions.

Clipboard redirection bandwidth limit

This setting specifies the maximum allowed bandwidth (kbps) for data transfer between the session and the local clipboards.

Clipboard redirection bandwidth limit percent

This setting specifies the maximum allowed bandwidth for data transfer between the session and the local clipboards, as a percentage of the total session bandwidth.

Limit clipboard client to session transfer size

This setting specifies the maximum size of clipboard data that a single copy-and-paste operation can transfer from a client device to a virtual session.

To limit the clipboard transfer size, enable the Limit clipboard client to session transfer size setting. Then, in the Size Limit field, enter a value in kilobytes to define the size of data transfer between the local clipboard and a session.

By default, this setting is disabled and there’s no limit on client-to-session transfers.

Limit clipboard session to client transfer size

This setting specifies the maximum size of clipboard data that a single copy-and-paste operation can transfer from a virtual session to a client device.

To limit the clipboard transfer size, enable the Limit clipboard session to client transfer size setting. Then, in the Size Limit field, enter a value in kilobytes to define the size of data transfer between a session and the local clipboard.

By default, this setting is disabled and there’s no limit on session to client transfers.

Restrict client clipboard write AND Client clipboard write allowed formats

Enabling the two settings lets you allow specific data formats to be copied and pasted from the session to the client (writing to the client).

The following clipboard formats are system defined:

  • CF_TEXT

  • CF_OEMTEXT
  • CF_DIB
  • CF_PALETTE

  • CF_METAFILEPICT
  • CF_SYLK
  • CF_OEMTEXT
