Share Clipboard Between Ubuntu and Windows Remote Desktop
I am trying to copy paste text between Windows Remote Desktop and Linux Ubuntu Server LTS 14.04 with Mate Desktop.
I have seen several posts that mention killing the rdpclip.exe process (on Windows) and restarting it. I can only imagine this pertains to an old version since rdpclip.exe isn't even running and I can copy paste between Windows machines just fine. However to test the idea, I started the rdpclip.exe program but this did not have any effect.
I also made sure that the clipboard is checked for my remote desktop connection.
In case it's relevant, I setup remote desktop by first installing the Mate 2D Desktop and then installing XRDP.
I am using Windows 8.1 64-bit to remote into the machine.

Kudos to you for manually trying to set this kind of thing up. I don't know if it's an option for what you're trying to accomplish but I've always used a sweet program called Synergy. synergy-project.org/…

Synergy looks like a cool product! If I had an extra monitor to spare for my server, I would shoot for it. The Windows Remote Desktop took awhile to figure out as far as connecting to Ubuntu but it works really well other than the fact that I can't copy paste text back and forth which really slows me down.

You can try WinSCP and create a ssh connection to the Linux machine. You can also share a folder on either the Linux or Windows machine and give them both access.

I had the same problem and I couldn't solve it. So, that's not exactly an answer to the problem in question, but I used pastebin.com to be able to share text between servers.
