There is a very nice PuTTY manual at
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/
I see nothing there about allowing applications to access the
clipboard, as would be necessary for vim users to be able to yank to
or put from the clipboard with "+y or "+p. Further, there appears
to be no way to copy, paste or select using the keyboard. From
Section 3.1.1:
PuTTY's copy and paste works entirely with the mouse. In order
to copy text to the clipboard, you just click the left mouse
button in the terminal window, and drag to select text. When you
let go of the button, the text is automatically copied to the
clipboard. You do not need to press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Ins; in fact,
if you do press Ctrl-C, PuTTY will send a Ctrl-C character down
your session to the server where it will probably cause a
process to be interrupted.
So I think you're stuck using the mouse.
However, if you could remote to box A from box B, or to box B from
box A, you could remote to one of them from Windows, run 'screen' on
that box, open a new 'screen' window, remote to the other box, then
use 'screen's keyboard-driven copy and paste mechanism.
HTH,
