How to send data to local clipboard from a remote SSH session

Question

Borderline ServerFault question, but I\'m programming some shell scripts, so I\'m trying here first :)

Answer 1

@rhileighalmgren solution is good, but pbcopy will annoyingly copy last "\n" character, I use "head" to strip out last character to prevent this:

#!/bin/bash
head -c -1 |  ssh desktop pbcopy
