I have a remote linux desktop and I connect to it through mac high sierra. I can copy from remote desktop to local but not from local to remote desktop. I connect using VNC4server and am running vncconfig as root.
sudo vncconfig -display :4&
MacBook Pro, iOS 9
Use RealVNC instead

On Linux
vncconfig &
should be running in the VNC session so the clipboard is shared between Linux and macOS.
Basically, RealVNC keeps the clipboard in sync, between the 2 platforms, and you just use the native copy & paste commands on each platform.
The following Copy/Paste behavior is based on '/bin/gnome-terminal'. This may or may not work with xterm. Your milage may vary for other Linux based terminal emulators.

Thanks for the response.
I tried with VNCviewer but it does not work. The copy paste options are greyed out.
It is a problem with remote client. If I use this software https://sourceforge.net/projects/chicken/reviews/
it works. I could use this one but it is a bit slow as compared to screen share or vncviewer.
