To copy – just highlight it
To paste- in putty just do a right click
In normal notepad Ctrl+v as normally

Exist the possibility to have and GUI (like TeamViewer) and also to use Putty in the same time ? I also have possibility to open in the same time more connection (to connect in the same time on a master PC and slave PC for example) ?
Your answer is very important for me, because I installed Ubuntu 17.10 on 2 PC’s, and I use on-board video graphic card and from this reason doesn’t allow me to use TeamViewer and I search more safety and lighter possibility to have remote control on both PC’s.

Thanks in advance for support and advice.

In reply to Cristian. I think you don’t have permissions to open it. From a terminal: chown $USER /dev/ttySo (or the path that appears there). You could also do it with the file manager.

You can paste in to putty by connecting a mouse with a wheel by putting the curser in putty and press once on the wheel and it has now pasted.

In reply to Keith.

wondering if anyone can help. I am completely new at Ubuntu. Currently running Zorin Core and I’m trying to connect my cisco lab to my PC using puTTy using a Serial connection. Now when I select “Serial” , the “serial line” tab is automatically filled out: /dev/ttyS0.
I hit open and get an error saying : Unable to open connection to :
Unable to open serial port.
What is it I need to do to make make that serial connection communicate with my client on the PC? Appreciate any help I can get.
