"+y operator for yanking to clip-board, not working

I use "+y to yank to clip-board so I can paste it somewhere else. It's working fine on one of my computers but not on an other.

Both computers are Linux (Ubuntu) machines. The one where it is not working, I am connecting to it through SSH.

Does anyone know how its possible that it doesn't work on one computer?

if you ssh into a server, you run commands on that server. "+y (yank text and save in clipboard) works only if there is a running X environment. That's why you cannot "copy & paste" with your sshed remote server.
