You might sometime encounter a situation when you need to access clipboard of other computer on your network to copy paste text. Here’s a nifty Firefox add-on that lets you share clipboard across computers, i.e. you can copy paste text from other computer’s clipboard.
To perform copy paste across computers, you need to have Firefox with PonPon Copy Paste add-on installed on each of the computer irrespective of OS you are using.
When you’ll restart Firefox after installing this add-on, you might get a prompt from Windows Firewall if you are on windows, just click on allow. Also, if you are using a firewall, make sure the Port number you set in options is allowed in firewall settings.
After installing the add-on go to Tools > PonPon Copy and Paste and add the IP addresses of the computers you want to share your clipboard with.
Similarly, add IP addresses on other computers as well. Once you add IP addresses, it’ll check whether computers with listed IP addresses are available or not. Now you can copy paste text across computers the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V way as usual. Just make sure Firefox is running on each computer.
This tool is ideal for your local network as it lets you share text easily across computers though there is a privacy risk involved as all the text on your clipboard will be accessible to others.
This add-on is currently in experimental mode, so you ‘ll need a Mozilla account to install it. [Via gHacks]
