Copy and Paste from Unix to Windows
Hi,
I am not very experienced with Unix, but have been successful in copying and pasting from Unix to Windows from a VNC session:
1) Highlight the text you want to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging, just like in Windows. This copies it to the Windows clipboard.
2) Go to your Windows window and paste it from the clipboard as usual.
By the way, to paste it into the Unix window, put your cursor where you want it to go, then click the middle mouse button.
Magic!
