How do I setup xwindow to run a remote desktop on my local machine through ssh.
Hello all and thanks.
I have been trying to get a remote desktop to run through ssh on my local machine on ctrl-alt-f1. On ctrl-alt-f7 desktop my local default I can get the remotes apps to run on the local machine through ssh. Can I have startx of the remote on ctrl-alt-f1 and to just swicht from the remote desktop on ctrl-alt-f1 to the local desktop ctrl-alt-f7 and back again without loging in and out of the remotes machine and if yes how. My network is a lan. Thanks green-ears :newbie: |
You can run it thru vnc [ not sure which one] but I have actually seen vnc run thru ssh and it was pretty snappy too as far as speed goes. So it can be done but I do not remember the application they used for vnc.

if you enable X forwarding in ssh
you can simply start an application remotely with Code:
ssh -x <user>@<host> <program> man ssh for details ;) Ooooops ... sorry, overlooked the desktop bit :} ... use tight VNC ;) Cheers, Tink |
yeah I nearly did that too Tinkster heh heh.

IF U R having a Windows desktop and want to access Linux box then U can export U'r LINUX desktop onto Windows...
U need 1) CYGWIN on Windows m/c (www.cygwin.com) 2) Tera Term Pro and its extension. (look it up in Google). Of course, cygwin is little slower than eXceed but it is free.. Good Luck !! --The Linux Kid. |
