clipboard-over-ssh

copy clipboard command from the remote clipboard (meant to be used with micro editor).

• This is not for real time syncing clipboard.
• This is meant to be used for terminal piping (not GUI session), mainly for micro text editor clipboard.
• Works by reading and writing file ~/.cache/clipboard-over-ssh/ssh-clipboard--((SSH CLIENT IP))

How does it work?

clipboard-over-ssh needs to be installed to the remote PC.

Connect to remote ssh and copy something. (Copy by piping it to ssh-clipboard-set)

And then get it from remote to your terminal.

---

In case ssh-clipboard-set&ssh-clipboard-get is on remote:

$ ssh remote 'echo something | ssh-clipboard-set'
$ ssh remote 'termux-clipboard-get'
something

In case ssh-clipboard-set is on remote
and ssh-connect-with-clipboard&ssh-get-from-connected-with-clipboard-fzf in on client:

$ ssh-connect-with-clipboard remote
(remote) $ echo something | ssh-clipboard-set

(( open new terminal ))
$ ssh-get-from-connected-with-clipboard-fzf
(( and choose 'remote' from fzf ))
something
