Are there any Windows 10 RDP clients that support the copying and pasting of text to/from Windows 10 RDP client to Xfce? Or, am I trying to do the impossible?

I did not try it but after a small search I noticed that xrdp has clipboard support in 2012 but I did not try it.

Check "Clipboard support in xrdp" on the news webpage:

Did you try it?

I never could get C&P to work in RDP. However C&P can be done over SSH with PuTTy.

Also C&P does work in RealVNC which is now installed by default in the new Raspbian Jessie Pixel image. You must use the RealVNC client in Windows. There is also a quick and easy file transfer tool which will allow you to copy files from desktop to desktop either direction

This may not be exactly what you want.

I use a linux desktop and I connect to remote systems with rdesktop. I'm able to copy and paste all over the place.

One thing you have to understand is that copy and pasting in linux is not as clear and unified as in windows. In windows when you [CTRL] + c you know for sure you have just copied to clipboard. Not so in linux. It may copy or it may not copy at all.

Another caveat is that once you copy and then you go to where you want to paste you may not or may not paste what you expect. For example. If you [CTRL] + c 'abc 123' at one point and then you highlight 'xyz 987' in xterm with your mouse button at a later point and then you paste to your web browser. What gets pasted? Not 'xyz 987'. That's right there's more than one memories.
I'll leave you with that.

Thanks everyone. I ended up going with TightVNC and now I can copy & paste between platforms.
