THa Copy

What is THa Copy

THa Copy is a program that allows copy & paste operations over a network. These copy & paste operations are limited to TEXT only. For example: you copy a text in notepad on one computer, and have the same text available on the clipboard on another computer.

How does it work

Tha Copy is a server/client application. This means that one instance of the program acts as a server, while another instance (on another computer) acts as a client.

You can make a connection between client and server over the network. Then, the server scans the clipboard every second. If the server detects change on the clipboard, it sends the information to the client. The client places the same information to the clipboard of his computer.

Usage

Situation: You want to share your clipboard with others. First you must start THa Copy, and check the "listen for connection" checkbox. The person you want to share your clipboard with, must also start THa Copy, and click "Connect". Now, he has to input your IP address (you can see this address in your window of THa Copy). Then the connection will be established, and your friend will receive clipboard data if you change your clipboard (for example: select some text in notepad, and press the edit/copy menu). Your friend then can select the edit/paste in some program, and get your text.

Download

This application is written in Visual Basic 5.0. You can either get the source code, or get the executable.
