How to copy & paste in PROXMOX terminals?

[moxi]

Hi all,

I've recently installed the latest PROXMOX version without creating a new VM and I'm having following issue:

I want to copy a part from a command output in the terminal to build a new command. I have tried with noVNC but I can only copy from the terminal to the clipboard. So how can it be done?

Thanks!

noVNC is a VNC server implemented in qemu. It has no knowledge of what's going on in the VM. You may be able to copy command output to the guest's clipboard, but the VNC server has no way of accessing it. Copying to the host's clipboard via VNC can only be done if the VNC server is run in the guest.
noVNC isn't intended for everyday use, but for quick administration tasks. If you want to actually work on the VM you're much better of just SSHing into it. Then you can copy/paste into the terminal in whatever ways you're used to.

Thanks for the quick response! It has worked over ssh!
