Copy/past between Windows and Ubuntu
If Hyper-V’s Enhanced Session continues to fight you, there is a way simpler way to get copy/paste and file sharing working without dealing with xrdp or blue screens at all: SSH.
In Basic View, open your Ubuntu terminal and install SSH:
sudo apt install openssh-server -y
Get your VM’s IP address:
ip a
Open Command Prompt or PowerShell on your Windows host machine and connect to your VM like this:
ssh your-ubuntu-username@your-vm-ip
Using SSH inside a standard Windows terminal gives you flawless, native copy/paste (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V) directly into your Ubuntu environment instantly!
Access Windows folder inside Ubuntu
- Create a file share in Windows
- Click on +Other Locations
- At the very bottom of the windo, in the text box labeled connect to Server, enter smb:///
