I use Google Remote Desktop using the Chrome web application to connect to a remote server.

Problem: I am unable to copy and paste host to remote server. How to enable it?

On the right side of Chrome Remote Desktop, the small blue arrow has Keyboard controls and its submenu has the option to enable the clipboard.

Copy/Paste (Clipboard like) functionality from a VNC desktop

This should work if you've got vncconfig running as a VNC client application. The man page clearly states that it is required for X clipboard support, so make sure that ~/.vnc/xstartup on the server side contains the following line somewhere:

vncconfig -iconic &

to ensure it's started automatically. If you already have a running VNC session without an active instance of vncconfig, just open a terminal on your VNC desktop and start it manually.

You can run the following commands on your remote machine one by one.

Taskkill.exe /im rdpclip.exe
Rdpclip.exe

This is a temporary fix, alternately you can use an online copy paste tool.
