VNC client for Windows with copy/paste?

Question

I'm looking for a VNC client for Windows (XP/Vista) which supports clipboard transfer to a Linux/Gnome desktop running on the server side.

Any suggestions?

Solution 1

It should work fine with realVNC.

Remember that if you press Ctrl+C to copy BEFORE you open the VNC connection it will not work. You must have VNC running before you copy stuff into the Clipboard (that one always catches me out).

Solution 2

If you use realvnc server on the *nix machine and realvnc client on windows, it should work. Just add vncconfig -nowin& to your xstartup file in the .vnc directory before the command to launch your window manager.

Solution 3

When I tried this, it didn't seem to have any effect even after I re-started VNC (it might be that the window manager kept running the whole time). So, I ran it in the command-line window ( vncconfig -iconic -nowin& in my case) and everything worked after that.
