Simple remote clipboard

Simply send back data to the local system clipboard when working on the server via SSH/telnet.

It has two modes:

Client mode Setup on the SSH server, it reads data from stdin and sends them to the server.
Server mode Setup on the local machine, it listens for the data from SSH server and sends it to the system clipboard.

Usage

xcopy server -l 0.0.0.0 -p 9001

This will start the server mode and listen on port 9001 for data.

cat README.md | xcopy client -l <SERVER_IP> -p 9001

The SSH remote port forwarding can be set if the SSH connection to the server is available.

Create a remote port forwarding when establishing SSH connection:

ssh -R 9001:127.0.0.1:9001 <USER>@<SERVER_IP>

Or config it in .ssh/config, make it available on every connection:

Host <SERVER_NAME>
    HostName <SERVER_IP>
    User <USER>>
    Port 22
    RemoteForward 9001 127.0.0.1:9001

After remote port forwarding is established, on the SSH server, you can just send to the local port 9001, which is default:

cat README.md | xcopy client
