Host to client drag-and-drop operation

A client computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• execute a client operating system that, when executed, renders a client user interface;
• execute a digital workspace application that, when executed, renders a digital workspace user interface within the client user interface, wherein the digital workspace user interface includes a visual representation of a remote computer system, and wherein the remote computer system is distinct from the client computer system;
• receive input initiating a drag-and-drop operation on a digital resource provided by the remote computer system, wherein the drag-and-drop operation is effectuated by a movable cursor, and wherein the input initiating the drag-and-drop operation is received within the visual representation of the remote computer system;
• detect that the movable cursor has left the visual representation of the remote computer system;
• detect that the drag-and-drop operation was initiated on the remote computer;
• confine the movable cursor to a portion of the client user interface that is outside the visual representation of the remote computer system;
• establish a source proxy window that encompasses the portion of the client user interface within which the movable cursor is confined;
• release the movable cursor;
• and
• continue effectuating the drag-and-drop operation.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable sequences of instructions to invoke a host-to-client drag-and-drop operation, the sequences of instructions comprising instructions to:

• render, via a user interface, a first representation of a client computer system and a second representation of a remote computer system distinct from the client computer system;
• receive, via the user interface, input initiating a drag-and-drop operation of a digital resource provided by the remote computer system;
• detect that a cursor effectuating the drag-and-drop operation has left the second representation;
• confine the cursor to a portion of the first representation;
• move a source proxy window to encompass the portion of the first representation;
• free the cursor;
• and
• initiate the drag-and-drop operation on the first representation.
