Joelh Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this question. I just installed Armbian onto a Odroid XU4 and it looks great but I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't paste more than about 146 characters into the terminal. I'm logged in over SSH. I'm trying to create a text file by pasting the contents in from my mac's clipboard and every time it only pasts the last ~140 characters of the text. I've tried everything and searched everywhere and can't figure out where this is being limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated : ) Joel.

Solution Joelh Posted November 3, 2021 Author Solution Posted November 3, 2021 Update on this. I am using a SSH tool called vSSH on my Mac. I tried connecting from the standard Mac terminal and I have no problem pasting in a larger block of text so it must be something to do with the vSSH program. I don't have this issue with any other servers but glad I figured it out.
tparys Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Maybe better to use scp to remotely copy an existing file to another system?
TRS-80 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 I don't know what vSSH is but I would just use standard command line tools. Apple OS is after all just BSD with some GUI skinning and other stuff on top. I guess I am a little surprised the ssh program was the issue, I was going to suggest to use a different terminal emulator as I suspected that may be the problem. But maybe vSSH is a terminal emulator (I did not bother searching it up). Anyway, glad you got it working.
