Abstract
Systems and methods for extending the drag-and-drop data transfer mechanism to the remote access environment are described. The extension allows the end-user to select data located on the remote host or the local viewer, drag the selected data to a window on the host or viewer, and drop the selected data in the window. In response, the data is transferred via a network connecting the viewer and the host without any further input from the end-user.
