Exposing your clipboard over SSH

I frequently administer remote servers over SSH, and need to copy data to my clipboard. If the text I want to copy all fits on one screen, then I simply select it with my mouse and press CMD-C, which asks relies on m y terminal emulator (xterm2) to throw it to the clipboard.

This isn't practical for larger texts, like when I want to copy the whole contents of a file.

If I had been editing large-file.txt locally, I could easily copy its contents by using the pbcopy command:

	[Unit]
	Description=consul agent
	Requires=network-online.target
	After=network-online.target

	[Service]
	EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/consul
	Environment=GOMAXPROCS=2
	Restart=on-failure
	ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/consul agent $OPTIONS -config-dir=/etc/consul.d

	# -- mode: ruby --
	# vi: set ft=ruby :

	VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

	Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do \|config\|
	config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"

	config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

	var sip = require('sip');
	var sys = require('sys');
	var redis = require('redis');

	//Trim leading and trailing whitespace from string values.
	function trim(str) {
	return str.replace(/^\s+\|\s+$/g, '');
	}

	sip.start({},function(request) {

	// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
	console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console
