Hi ^^ I was trying to copy the results of the following command: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
But I can’t copy the results from the console.
How can I copy the text from the console?
Thank you navthink,

- Bring up the console in the browser developer tools.
- In console tab, paste this snippet and hit ENTER
!function(){function t(){window.rfb.sendKey(e.shift().charCodeAt()),e.length>0&&setTimeout(t,10)}var e=prompt("Enter text to be sent to console").split("");t()}();
- You’ll receive a dialog prompt to enter the copy to paste in.
Please note that you need to click on the VNC console and hit enter to execute the command.
If you can ssh to your server, you can use sftp to download the file.
Otherwise you may try to mail the file with mail command
sudo apt-get install mailutils
mail -s "My pub key" someone@domain.com < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
I’m actually needing to know the same thing. How can I copy the consoul log or at least get access to it? I can connect via ssh by the way.
