Copying text content from Windows instance accessed by using Safari or Edge browser
This topic describes how to copy text content after you log in to a Windows instance via the ECS Terminal in the Safari or Edge browser.
Applicable scenario
Due to restrictions in the Safari and Edge browsers, after you log in to a Windows ECS instance via the ECS Terminal, you cannot directly copy text content into the instance or directly copy text content from the instance to your local device. However, you can use the Clipboard Capture applet to help you complete the text copying operation.
