Like you would do it on the same server but using 'linked server'.

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Sure. Once you have a linked server you can do it like this:
insert [linked server name].databasename.dbo.tablename(col1, col2, ...)
select col1, col2, ... from databasename.dbo.tablename

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

using linked server will be ok for your requirement

insert into tableA select * from serverB.tableB
