Remote Display of Programs with Graphical Interfaces
The recommended X-Windows emulator for Mac OS X is Apple X11, which is available free from Apple.
- After X11 is installed on your system, start Apple X11.
- A xterm window should appear on your screen.
- Login to a UNIX machine (example:
ada.tamu.edu).ssh -X netID@ada.tamu.edu
The-Xoption tells SSH to allow programs to forward and display their graphical interfaces. This is known as X11 forwarding. - To verify that X11 forwarding is working, type the following command:
xterm
If a new xterm terminal window for the remote system pops up, then X11 forwarding is working correctly.
