I won’t go into all the Putty configuration details, I’ll only mention that for X11 forwarding, you have to do the following: in the main configuration window of Putty (you get it when you start Putty), select Connection section, then SSH, then X11, and make sure you tick the Enable X11 Forwarding option.
#XMING SETUP DOWNLOAD#
But if you had to change the config file, it’s time to restart ssh: solaris# svcadm restart svc:/network/sshĪll that’s left now is to download the wonderful free Putty client, that is if you’re not using it yet. If you already have similar parameters, don’t do anything. Just ensure that it has the following: # X11 tunneling options We have to alter the ssh daemon config file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Now that you have Xming installed, start it and it’s time to take care of the ssh side of things.
#XMING SETUP INSTALL#
All you have to do is download its distribution archive from the project’s page on SourceForge: XMing SourceForge.Īfter you install it, I recommend you have a quickstart panel shortcut created for it, and have your command line altered to something like this: "C:Program FilesXmingXming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow Configure SSHd for X11 forwarding
#XMING SETUP WINDOWS#
It allows you to redirect graphical output of applications you run on remote Unix servers and therefore see these applications windows on your MS Windows desktop.
Essentially it’s an X-server which starts transparently on top of your MS Windows desktop. Xming is an X Windows port for Microsoft Windows. But in reality, if you don’t need any sessions but only want to remotely start an application and get a window from it on your desktop, you won’t need any of these expensive products – the easiest will be to use X11 forwarding and Xming. For Windows, there are lots of pretty good albeit expensive products like Citrix, GoGlobal and XWin32, which allow you access your remote Unix desktop sessions. X11 Forwarding with ssh is a wonderful feature which allows you get windows of a remotely started applications shown on your own desktop. I use it both at home and at work, and everything is very easy and – most importantly – absolutely free. Now you can run e.g.I’ve been using this combination on a daily basis for more than a year now, and I can’t stress enough how really useful it is. bash-3.2$ DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 export DISPLAY If you get error, -bash-3.2$ Error: Can't open display:, correct the DISPLAY variable like: bash-3.2$ xauth add /unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 38dcf9f9fd5b587f3d5fa8d77281f66cĪfter that the command -bash-3.2$ xeyes & as oracle should work. bash-3.2$ sudo su - oracle and add the original users MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE to xauth. The XLaunch program allows you to configure multiple ways to displaying X clients. Use the Start Menu Applications item Search the Start Menu for XLaunch. You have to get to that from the Start Menu. unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 38dcf9f9fd5b587f3d5fa8d77281f66c you want to use the XLaunch utility it comes with to configure settings. Take note of that line as you need it later. Go back to previous user and check what the xauth list says. That's the typical use case but if you change to another user and try the same command you get error "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 data did not match". bash-3.2$ xeyes & X11 forwarding as other user On the remote machine check that the X11 forwarding works with e.g. Click Save and then Open the SSH connection to your remote host.
#XMING SETUP SOFTWARE#
There are different tools to do X11 forwarding on Windows but Xming is small, fast and simple software for X Window System Server for Microsoft Windows. Using Xming for X11 forwarding on Windows Here we concentrate on Windows and use Xming and PuTTY for those tasks. XQuartz and on Windows you need two pieces of software: a secure shell program (ssh) to establish the remote connection and an X Server to handle the local display. Linux supports X Forwarding with no extra software, on OS X you need e.g.
Usually I prefer to do thing directly from the Linux terminal but sometimes there is a need for remote graphical tools and X11 forwarding.
