Copy to local machine clipboard from iteractive remote session

  • Works with macOS and remote linux machine
  • On local machine, make this plist file to use with launchclt
  • On local machine launchctl load local.pbcopy.9999.plist. This must remain running for remote copy to work.
  • On remote machine cat "message or file" | nc localhost 9997 -w1
  • nc is at /mnt/isilon/cbmi/variome/perry/bin/nc
  • On local machine, use paste or pbpaste as usual

Extra

  • On my locate machine, p is aliased to the launchctl command
  • On the remote machine, cr is aliased to the nc command
