# Remote clipboard insertion via SSH
# By Henrik Lissner <henrik@lissner.net>
#
# A simple script for sending data to another computer's clipboard via SSH. Acts as
# a universal clipboard. This script must be available on the remote. Pipe through gpg
# if you want the contents encrypted.
#
# It helps if your ssh connection is pubkey authenticated and password-less.
#
# If the destination (or host) is a mac, use pbcopy and pbpaste instead.
#
# Workflow:
# host $ echo "Hello world!" | rclip.sh guest
# guest $ rclip.sh
# Hello world!
# OR
# host $ echo "Hello world!" | gpg -e | rclip.sh guest
# guest $ rclip.sh | gpg -d
# Hello world!
