I'm connecting to my Debian squeeze server through the Windows TightVNC viewer and tightvncserver on Linux. I have put the following line in my ~/.vnc/xstartup
file:
autocutsel -fork
However, this only seems to allow 1-way clipboard synchronization; the remote Linux content can be copied to the Windows clipboard, but not the other way around.
Is there some way I can copy Windows clipboard content and paste it in Linux through TightVNC?

With the unlikely name of
vncconfig
on Linux, you can get bidirectional cutbuffer/clipboard interaction.From the manual entry of
vncconfig
:Using
TightVNC
on Windows, make sure that the optionDisable clipboard transfer
is not checked. This option is accessible when you launch TightVNC.You will see the Startup Window.
(click on Options) then make sure that
Disable clipboard transfer
is not checked.
