The console in the control panel does not support copy/paste and is recommended for emergency access to your droplet only. For general work, configuration and maintaince of your server we recommend using the command line ssh client on Linux or Mac or PuTTY on Windows to access your server. These options all support copy/paste.

Hey everyone, I’m a product manager here at DigitalOcean and I wanted to send a quick update about this issue. We just released the ability to paste text into our Cloud console! Give it a try and let us know if there is anything else we can help with. Thanks, Keith
