How to open an X11 window on machines without ssh (also Xterminals) from hosts with ssh.
Last update: 4-Mar-1999
- From a machine without ssh (or from an X-Terminal) login on dxcalc or other machine with ssh (SSHhost);
- On the SSHhost issue the command: ssh <RemoteSSHhost>
- Run your X11 application
Security Note:
The channel between your local Xserver and the local ssh host are NOT secure.
Example:
View a plot with paw running on a remote host with ssh on our local Xterminal.
- From the Xterminal (xterm01.lnf.infn.it) login on dxcalc;
- dxcalc~> ssh sshhost.remote.edu
- % paw
