hello all..

is a stupid question, but don't know

how can copy text of a putty windows and paste in a file of text?? or copy some command of a page and paste in a putty windows?? i try Ctrl + C and don't works.. Shift + Ctlr + C and don't works.. and try select test and after right click and don't works..

somebody can help me?

You just highlight the text with the mouse and then go to the notepad or whatever you use and do CTRL-V. To copy and paste again in putty you highlight to copy and to paste you just rightclick but keep in mind that you paste where the cursor is, not where the mouse is.

This is copying something from putty running on a windows system logged into a linux system and pasting it onto a windows app like notepad.

When you have the putty window open and you have something that you want to copy, highlight the text. By highlighting the text it stores it in ram memory, now go to what app you want to copy it to, right click and select paste.

i'm work in CentOs, putty running in Centos in windows is easy.. just highlight the text and paste with Ctrl + V or right click in same window.. but in CentOs dont know...


thx

Then highlight the text and use your middle mouse button to paste, if you have a two button mouse press them both at the same time and this will paste the contents stored in ram. If you don't have your mouse setup to emulate a three button mouse edit your xorg.conf and add
to the Section "InputDevice" section.

hey .. thx so much bro

There is also Ctrl+<insert>/ Shift+<insert>

Hi:

I solved this issue using 2 methods:

1. Using PuTTY linux version:
clicking in both touchpad buttons I simulated the middle button.
Since Linux Mint distro I'm using had not this middle button simulation activated (The latest version of evdev, version 2.5, changed the default for the middle mouse button emulation code. This change has disabled emulation of the middle mouse button by clicking the left and right mouse buttons) I needed to enable it manually:

Enabling the middle mouse button emulation adding this to xorg.conf snippet:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button emulation class"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection

2. Using PuTTY Windows version (I prefer that since I do not need to change distro setting like Xorg, only Wine settings in order to connect to console serial ports):

Since wine handles com ports by having a link to the device (ie /dev/ttyUSB0), in the ~/.wine/dosdevices folder, this link would be created as follows, in order to update your wine profile configs:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

I prefer this second method, since the copy paste works allways, do not need the middle button simulation and, the sherry in the top of the cake, it NEVER hangs (occasionally PuTTY hangs on some Windows XP installations).

Otherwise, in case you do not need/want to install wine, the first method is preferable.

Enjoy.
