Remote X Windows Forwarding or....


Recommended Posts

Hello! I want to be able to forward my X session to a remote computer (also running Linux). Both machines are running rh8. I understand that vnc is an option as well, but i want to be able to see and interact with the SAME screen remotely as i do sitting in front of it at my desk. VNC makes a different session. :( help ? thanks

ssh -X ip_address

then type:

mozilla or mozilla & and be happy :D

note: (both machines are running rh8)

you could even forward graphics from solaris to mac to pc as long as the system has X11 on it.

ok, I will try that, but will that bring up my desktop in its entirety? or .... also what port would that use as i am behind a router and need to know what port to forward. thanks a lot for the response.
