HOWTO: run remote X11 applications

The server is running on Linux. To run the remote server applications on my own machine:

  • On Windows:
    =======================
    1. Install Xming as the X11 server.
    2. Run Putty, as ssh client, with the X11 forwarding arguments: 'localhost:0' or ':0', or even with blank only enable forwarding.
  • On Mac OSX
    =======================
    1. run: ssh -X -l username 192.168.1.XXX
    * using Putty: with the X11 forwarding arguments: ':0'!!!!!!!!
  • On Linux
    =======================
    1. run: ssh -X -l username 192.168.1.XXX
    * using Putty: with the X11 forwarding arguments: ':0' or blank.
