Copy And Paste Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac
I had a peculiar issue with copying and pasting files from my local computer to a Remote Desktop session. I could copy and paste locally, but the option to paste would be grayed out on the Remote Desktop computer. There are several ways to solve this problem depending on what you are trying to copy and paste.
- Fixed – Copy Paste not working in Remote Desktop Connection – Windows 10. Copy and Paste which was working as usual suddenly stopped working one fine day. Restarted the following process on the remote machine, but that also didn’t help. Although it was not configured so it should not have affected the setting, however explicitly set is as Disabled.
- I have copied and pasted files from the remote PC to my Macbook before in the paste with no problems a month ago. Today I can't figure out how to do it. When I connect to the remote PC with Jump Desktop, select and copy the remote file then go into the Macbook finder and the shared folder and try to paste the paste option is grayed out.
Use command+C to copy the text, but do not use command+V as you normally do in Mac OS. Instead, use control+V to paste into a session in Remote Desktop.
Client Settings
- Right-click on the RDP icon that you use to connect, then select “Edit“.
- Select the “Local Resources” tab.
- Check the “Clipboard” option. To allow file copying and pasting, select “More…” and proceed to step 4. If you just need the ability to copy and paste text and not files, stop here and click “OK“.
- Select the “Drives” option. Click “OK“, then “OK” again.
Server Settings
Windows 2016
In Windows 2016, these settings are controlled within Group Policy.

Windows 2008
Microsoft Copy And Paste Tool
- Launch “Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration” from the server.
- Under “Connections“, right-click the connection and select “Properties“.
- Select the “Client Settings” tab, and make sure the “Clipboard” box is unchecked. If you want to allow copying and pasting of files, make sure the Drive selection is unchecked. Click OK when done.
I should also note that if you have all of these settings configured correctly and things still don’t work, you may need to restart the server or just kill the rdpclip process.
