If the text is in a file (on the Ubuntu machine), the following works fine 
for me:

$ scp sisyphus@192.168.0.101:~/some.txt /dev/clipboard

Having run that, the contents of some.text are now on the clipboard (with 
line-endings properly processed) and can be transferred to a notepad file 
using ctrl-v.

Does that suit your needs ?

(I didn't know this would work ... I think it's something I'll utilise from 
time to time :-)

Cheers,
Rob
