Virtual LWP

Don't have your own PC? We now offer the virtual LWP (vLWP).

It's accessible from your web browser at vlwp.rug.nl or by using a client. In many circumstance the client performs better.

Drag-n-drop files

Both the web browser and the client support exchanging files between your own computer and the virtual LWP through drag-n-drop. Simply drag a file onto the desktop of the vLWP in your browser or client. This works both ways.

Dedicated client

The client software makes it easy to share the clipboard and files and may have lower latency. But sharing the clipboard using the webplayer in the browser also works.

  1. Enable clipboard sharing with ctrl-alt-0 (or by moving the mouse to the top right corner of the webplayer).
  2. When the clipboard is enabled you will see a grey clipboard sharing area at the bottom of the webplayer
