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. sending computer, cut computer receiving computer, paste computer C local L computer I application P B O A local R computer D C L remote I computer P application B O A R remote D computer Computer A Figure 6-26 Cut and paste computer nomenclature Computer B 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.
