Netclip.exe: Clipboard Viewer

This GUI tool lets you view the contents of the clipboard of another computer on the network, and to cut and paste any data, in any format, to and from the other computer by dragging and dropping. The same user must be logged into both computers when using NetClip.

To share the clipboard between the two computers, NetClip uses the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). It fully supports Rich Text Format (RTF) as well as any custom data format supported by your applications.

Using NetClip

To use this tool, simply run Netclip.exe. When it starts you see your local clipboard.

To connect to another computer, click the Connect button on the Toolbar and enter the remote computer name. You can use a NetBIOS name (for example, "mycomputer"), a DNS name (for example, "mycomputer.microsoft.com"), or an IP address (for example, "127.16.0.1").

To terminate the connection with the remote computer, click the Disconnect button.

You can also pass a computer name on the command line, allowing you to put a shortcut on your desktop for each of your computers.

NetClip Requirements

NetClip requires Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Microsoft® Windows NT® version 4.0 to view and modify the clipboard on another computer. It can also run on Microsoft® Windows® 98 or Microsoft® Windows® 95, but as a local clipboard viewer only.

Note

• To allow clients to access a server's clipboard via NetClip, you must grant the user launch and access permissions on the server computer. You can do this with either Oleview.exe: OLE/COM Object Viewer or Dcomcnfg.exe, a Windows 2000 program located in the %windir%\System32 directory.
• If you receive an "Access denied" error when attempting to connect to a remote server's clipboard, make sure that "Enable distributed COM on this computer" is checked on the Default Properties tab of Dcomcnfg.exe.
