How do I copy paste in Emacs terminal?

How to copy and paste files in Emacs?
Go to the Dired buffer that lists the files you want to copy. Mark those files. Use C (command dired-do-copy) to copy the marked files. At the prompt, use C-y to paste the (absolute) name of the target directory. You can just paste it, without bothering to remove the default directory that is inserted in the minibuffer.
How to mark and move files in dired?
You can do much more with dired, and we will return to it in the future. Open dired for a directory containing files you want to work with. Then use C, R, or D when the cursor is on the line of a file to copy, rename/move or delete the file, respectively. This can also be done for multiple files by marking them.
What are the regular expressions in Emacs for moving files?

How to copy files and directories between dired buffers?
Use C (command dired-do-copy) to copy the marked files. At the prompt, use C-y to paste the (absolute) name of the target directory. You can just paste it, without bothering to remove the default directory that is inserted in the minibuffer. (Pasting it after that default dir name dims that default name – it is ignored.)
