I am having a server A and a linked server B. I want to insert data from Server A to Server B. In the same server i am able to do so.

Fetching is fine with Linked Server

:Select * from LinkedServerName.LinkedServerDB.LinkedServerSchema.LinkedServerTable

But how can I insert data from a server to a configured linked server.

What I have tried:

Select * from LinkedServerName.LinkedServerDB.LinkedServerSchema.LinkedServerTable

But how can I insert data from a server to a configured linked server.

You should just be able to insert normally, using the same naming convention, e.g.
INSERT INTO LinkedServerName.LinkedServerDB.LinkedServerSchema.LinkedServerTable
(column1)
VALUES
('test');

or select * into LinkedServerName.LinkedServerDB.LinkedServerSchema.LinkedServerTable from dbo.localtable;

if your linked server and db are correct, then your query should work with no issue. No special stuff needed to insert with linked server.

Linked servers are simply servers that can be accessed from each other. There are several methods to do what you want. The simplest is to write two insert statements - one for each server's insert requirements.
