experts: I tested this whole day and couldn't find a solution... so I wanted to archive same goal as described in this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1152362/getting-items-on-the-local-clipboard-from-a-remote-ssh-session I'm on windows (cygwin) machine A and ssh into linux machine B. I hope to send some text from B directly to windows clipboard of A, and so I can paste them into notepad or any other windows APPs, without bothering a temp file... what my test shows that what was sent over to /dev/clipboard or clip via the revert ssh session (from B to A) was just belonging to that ssh user specifically, meaning my current windows clipboard could not be changed at all...here is the code to demonstrate the issue: from cygwin terminal in windows machine A: ssh to B with user user1; //and sent some text to A: ping@ubuntu1404:~/temp-transfer$ cat test-ls.md | ssh ping@machineA "cat > temp.txt; cat temp.txt >> /dev/clipboard" now in A I open notepad, press Ctrl-V, I don't see content of test-ls.md, but just see those previous texts I copied manually in A. now if I ssh into myself from A: ssh user@127.0.0.1 cat /dev/clipboard then I can see the file content of test-ls.md printed in the terminal. but still, I can't make them in notepad. so it looks like, the clipboard is per windows user. but the thing is I'm currently logging in windows with user1 too. guess there are something I don't understand here , but how do I archive what I wanted? I hope to send the text to a clipboard that I can just put in notepad with a ctrl-v .... thanks in advance. still researching... regards ping -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
