Copy on one remote computer, paste on another
Silux Connect keeps one clipboard across every computer you are connected to. Copy text, a picture or a file on remote PC A and paste it straight into remote PC B, from the browser, the desktop app or your phone. No emailing yourself, no USB stick, no second tool.
One clipboard for every session
Anything copied on a computer you are viewing lands in your clipboard pool. Open the Clipboard pool in any other session and press Paste: the text or picture is put on that computer's clipboard, ready for Ctrl+V or ⌘V. It works between two, five or twenty open remotes at once.
Text, pictures and files
Text and pictures paste directly. A copied file is moved straight from the computer it came from to the one you are viewing (into its Downloads folder) through the sessions themselves, at any size, without uploading it to a cloud drive.
Your own device too
Copy on your laptop or phone and add it to the pool, or copy an entry back to your own device. Automatic sync can keep your local clipboard and the remote one in step while you work.
Private
Copies made inside a session travel over the session's end-to-end encrypted link. The pool itself is kept in your own workspace on your Silux Connect server so you can paste later, visible only to you, and you can delete any entry at any time.
How to copy from one remote computer and paste on another
- Connect to the first computer and copy text, a picture or a file there as usual (Ctrl+C / ⌘C).
- Connect to the second computer (another tab, window or the app).
- Open Clipboard pool in the session toolbar.
- Press Paste next to the entry: text and pictures go onto that computer's clipboard; files are copied into its Downloads folder.
- Paste with Ctrl+V / ⌘V on the second computer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I copy and paste between two remote computers?
Yes. Copy on remote A, open the Clipboard pool while viewing remote B and press Paste. It works for text, pictures and files, across any number of open sessions.
Does it work in the desktop and phone apps?
Yes. The same clipboard pool is in the web app, the Windows, macOS and Linux app, and the iPhone and Android app.
How are files copied between remotes?
The file goes from the source computer to the target computer through the two sessions, into the target's Downloads folder (or home folder). It is not stored on a cloud drive.
Is the clipboard private?
Yes. Session traffic is end-to-end encrypted, and your pool lives in your own workspace, visible only to you, with any entry deletable at any time.
