Copying and pasting text using Chrome

If you are running Enterprise Studio Online in Chrome, copying and pasting data between Enterprise Studio Online and your local device can be done just using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, instead of using the remote session toolbar commands mentioned in the procedure. In order to be able to do this, you first need to permit Chrome to do this. You may see a message pop up, or you can change the setting for the clipboard.

Downloading files from your remote session to your local device

1. In your Enterprise Studio Online session, in the remote session toolbar, click .
   
   
2. In the My Files window, select the folder from which you want to download a file.
   
   
   
   
3. To download a file, click the file name, or click the arrow next to the file, and then click Download. The file is placed in your local Downloads folder.
