Clipboard does not work in built-in VNC in VMware Workstation Pro.

Dear friends, 

I can't manage to make clipboard work in built-in VNC of VMware Workstation Pro.

It's highly inconvenient.

Clipboard easily works even in free VirutalBox, but they use RDP as built-in remote control.

Is there any chance to make clipboard work in VMware Workstation Pro?

I assume that when you say 'built-in' you mean 'VM > Settings, Options tab and select VNC Connections'.

If this is the case then the following restrictions apply:

  When you use a VNC client to connect to a virtual machine, some features do not work or are not available.

  • You cannot take or revert to snapshots.
  • You cannot power on, power off, suspend, or resume the virtual machine. You can shut down the guest operating system. Shutting down might power off the virtual machine.
  • You cannot copy and paste text between the host system and the guest operating system.
  • You cannot change virtual machine settings.
  • Remote display does not work well if you are also using the 3D feature.

Thank you very much!

It's really awful. It definitely makes VirtualBox more convenient.
