Restricting access to functionality
You can quickly prevent all interchange with the host computer, making VNC Viewer for Java ‘view only’. To
do this, turn on View only (ignore mouse & keyboard). This option is on the Inputs tab.
You can disable copy and paste, or just copy and paste in a particular direction. For more information, see
Copying and pasting text on page 57.

If the mouse cursor is not behaving in the expected way, turn off Render cursor locally. If the screen is not
updating properly, turn off Fast CopyRect. These options are on the Misc tab.

computers on page 66 for more information.
You can preview the contents of the Clipboard to see what text is available to paste. To do this, select
Clipboard from the VNC Viewer for Java shortcut menu. More on this menu. The VNC Viewer - Clipboard

Disabling and enabling copy and paste
You can disable copy and paste while the current connection is in progress. To do this, open the VNC
Viewer - Options dialog. More on this dialog. On the Inputs tab, turn off Accept clipboard from VNC
Server and Send clipboard to VNC Server.
Note you can turn these options off separately in order to disable copy and paste in one direction only.
