x11

X11 forwarding over SSH under Linux(Ubuntu)

Sometimes is usefull to run same GUI application from remote server. You can use same program like VNC, but i preferrer SSH X11 forwarding.

    To get i working you need
  • Enable it's on remote station
    sudo vim /etc/ssh/ssh_config
    change #ForwardX11 no
    ForwardX11 yes
  • Connect to remote station using following command
    #ssh -X  maksim@192.168.1.168
    ssh -X  <user-name>@<host-address>

Using this I can run application on my 24' screen from my laptop which have 14'screen :-)
