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

×I use putty in Windows 8.1.. There, in Console Windows top title bar, one needs to right click.. That would open up the menu contain option “copy all”
Note, you dont need to select anything, copy all will copy everything.. Paste that into notepad and form there, take only what you need.
Thanks..
Thank you hunky^^

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
thank you TonyTsang

Create a requests bin:
And type in the console
data="data to send"
curl -d "$data" -X POST <https://requestbinlink>
And you should see the data in your request bin.
Thank you! This worked for me.
Also to set the variable “data” to the output of id_rsa.pub
data="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
PS. The data posted to the requestbin link will automatically remove all plus (+) symbols from SSH key. You’ll need to add that back in. Easy as replacing the gaps with the plus symbol.
!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()}();
Please note that you need to click on the VNC console and hit enter to execute the command.
This worked for me, but the @ character was replaced by a 2, and + by =. After I manually fixed those, it worked.
