Lately, I have seen a rise in limitations on what actions a user can do on remote desktop services (e.g., Microsoft MSTSC and Citrix Workspace) consisting of forbidding the copy and paste of files through clipboard allowing only plain text for security reasons, sometimes making developer user experience troublesome. I would like to raise the awareness that these measures can be bypassed "easily", even if the plain text copy/paste through clipboard gets disabled.

I'm a senior .NET software engineer in the second half of my forties. Started using a computer at six years, gone through logo, basic, assembly, C/C++, java and finally to .NET and .NET core. Proficient also in databases, especially Sql Server and reporting. Let's say I have also some experience on security but mainly in the past, now things have become much more difficult and I do not have too much time to keep me updated, but sometimes I am still kicking in.
