How to paste from clipboard into KiTTY SSH terminal window?












6















I use KiTTY (a PuTTY derivative) to access SSH servers from a Windows PC. But I can't find how to paste text from Windows clipboard into KiTTY SSH console (neither Ctrl+V, nor Ctrl+Shift+V seem to work, and there does not seem to be Copy/Paste commands in the window's context menu). Maybe you know?

          Right-click somewhere inside the terminal window.



          I pasted "administrator" by right-clicking somewhere inside the terminal window. (The black area)

          • Thanks. I've seen this, but thought it only pastes what is selected inside the KiTTY window itself.

          The act of selection automatically copies the text to the clipboard: there is no need to press Ctrl-Ins or Ctrl-C or anything else.
          The only thing you need to do, to copy text to the clipboard, is to select it.
          To paste the clipboard contents into a PuTTY window, by default you click the right mouse button.
          You can also paste by pressing Shift-Ins.
