linux can't open display,x server - xsel: Can't open display: (null) - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

I want to copy a long file into clipboard with xsel,in my local pc ,just input:

cat /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation|xsel -b

The file mysql_secure_installation located in my local os was copied into clipboard.

Now login to my vps with ssh command,then input

DISPLAY=:0 cat /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation|xsel -b

I come across the error info:

xsel: Can't open display: (null)

: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I know that the proper way to get remote file is scp command:

scp -P port username@tohostname:/remotefile /newlocalfile

I just wonder how to get file content copied into clipboard after loginning my vps,copy file from remote machine to the clipboard of my local computer.

Same error:

DISPLAY=:0 xsel -b < /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

xsel: Can't open display: (null)
