Copy and Pasting between a remote Windows desktop and Linux client

If you need to Copy & Paste between a remote Windows desktop and your Linux workstation, use "Terminal Server Client" to access the host Windows XP/Server with "Remote Desktop" enabled.

In the Terminal Server Client, make sure that the Protocol selected is RDPv5. The default is RDP, which doesn't have the bells & whistles.

Once selected, copy and pasting is fully integrated between machines!
