Xming : X11 Forwarding via ssh

in Ubuntu | | 5 Comments » | Last modified:

Instead of using the coupled ssh + tightvncserver to have a graphical login of a Linux computer from Windows, is much more convenient to do everything directly with ssh.
Sufficient to install an X server on Windows, come Xming (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming), that will create the appropriate link on the Desktop.
In the remote machine with Linux, you should check that the file sshd X11 forwarding is enabled:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
# X11 tunneling options
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

Restart the ssh service.

Sul client Windows, aprire Putty, e in Connection->SSH->X11 spuntare l’opzione “Enable X11 forwarding”

At this point just start an ssh session with Putty, Xming open the link created on your desktop automatically, and try to launch an application, And here!

ATTENTION!

View on a remote computer graphics applications, requires a large bandwidth consumption!
You should use this function only within a LAN, or in case of ADSL broadband connections, why send a graphic window to another computer can take 4/5 Mbps.
You can reduce the consumption of banda parizalmente activating, X11 panel of Putty, compression, and using a desktop enviroment wellhead “greedy”, that is not KDE or Gnome.
