Can't Copy/Paste into the remote box
This seemed to be working days ago - but I can't seem to copy files or links from my computer to the virtual box anymore, clipboard on the box is always empty, any guidance on this?

I'm assuming you're talking about a Windows VDS here, rather than a Linux VDS or a full DS. It's likely an issue with remote desktop but there are some steps you can take (one issue I've had in the past is Caps Lock remotely being desynced from Caps Lock on my real machine).
First of all just to confirm, you aren't able to copy either text OR files right? And is this only in one or both directions?

yeah sorry it's a windows box, no text or files in either direction

I usually run the following in command prompt to fix it when this happens to me. The ping command is just to waste a couple seconds before relaunching it.
Code: Select all
taskkill /IM rdpclip.exe
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >nul
start rdpclip.exe
