Title
When using PSM to a unix machine over an RDP connection; it is not immediately possible to paste data copied into the local clipboard. -
Description
Using RDP to a remote server; and then logging into TPAM on that remote server to begin a Unix / linux PSM Session:
When data is copied into the local clipboard; it is not immediately possible to paste this data into the PSM Session running on the remote machine.
Pasting into Notepad on the remote machine is successful; and after this paste action into notepad, the paste is successful into the PSM Session.
-
Cause
The process rdpclip.exe on the remote machine is responsible for updating the local clipboard using the contents from the RDP client clipboard. The paste action into the PSM Session when hosted over RDP does not force the clipboard update prior to this paste action. -
Resolution
In 2.5.913; there is a menu option added under the PSM Session "Hot-Keys Menu"; "Set Session Clipboard".
To successfully paste into a unix/linux PSM Session hosted over an RDP session:
-Copy text locally on the client machine.
-Within the PSM Session, press the "Hot-Keys Menu | Set Session Clipboard"
-Within the PSM Session; paste the data via ALT+left mouse click" (or middle mouse button depending on configuration)
