I am using Ubuntu at home, and the open source tsclient to rdp into my xppro system at work.

I am having a related issue where if rdpclip is running, local-to-local copy and paste are broken on the remote system. Killing rdpclip solves the issue, but it would be nice to have both working.

I have tried many suggestions and none have helped until this. I am using XP Pro SP 2 on both computers.

Hi, I am unable to copy paste documents from my desktop to the terminal server session or viceversa. I know I did it once in another computer but not sure why is not working in this one?

typically have 2-7 RDP sessions open at once for the several servers I
administer.

When copy and pasting between my local PC and the Session, or from session
to session. The copy does not always get into the Local PC clipboard, and/or
transferred to the RDP session Clipboard.

If I use the keyboard it takes maybe 8+ times of hitting CTRL-C to get
something in the clipboard. 3-4 times if I right click and select copy.

My Local PC is running Vista Enterprise Ed (x86), the RDP Sessions are
mostly Win2003 R2, though Some Win2003 SP2, Win2000

Its really annoying to have to copy multiple times to get somthing on the
Clipboard.

I'll try killing the rdpclip and see if that helps. IF I'm only running the one RDP session it seems to be fine.
