And is not something that "needs to be implemented" in VBOX. You can do this from your desktop (graphic) of whatever OS you are using. It is a desktop feature. I use FreeBSD with a KDE console (kconsole) to ssh into the guest vm. It could be Windows + putty or MacOS + terminal. Doesn't matter. Once the ssh is established, whatever you have in the clipboard can be pasted into the terminal session window, no matter how long or complex. I believe this more of question for the users list. I would suggest that next time you try there first. Just my 0,02 cents. BW, -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
