I actually did have that sort of issue some years ago, I think it was
https://www.securew2.com/ and specifically Firefox. Works fine today on
Debian 11, Firefox 115.14.0esr. Chewy.com too.

Use a pastebin? Setup mail in Windows? Connect to the Windows machine
via remote desktop and remotely use the browser there? There are so many
ways to skin that cat.

I have an occasional need to move small files between Windows and Linux,
I've settled on sshfs from Windows to Linux these days. sshd on Linux is
a given here anyways and the sshfs implementation for Windows has worked
well for me. I've tried the NFS client support in Windows too but it
seemed to have tedious long delays when connecting so not much fun.

I remember I've looked into clipboards that work over the network but I
don't think I found one that'd work between Windows and Linux and would
be simple and easy to use.
