Re: [SLE] How to allow ftp and telnet

If you want to do X, it is important when you connect to the linux box with
ssh to include the -X in the command line. (e.g. ssh -X server.org)


In cygwin, BEFORE ssh'ing, just from the cygwin shell, try something like
xcalc and see what is says. That will tell you if X is there or not.


I don't know if anyone else here thinks that installing cygwin can be
problematic or not. (I believe it is, simply because M$ crap is involved in
the equasion somewhere... hehe) But, I have found this XLiveCD to be the
simplest, most robust way of using/installing fully functional cygwin.

You don't even need to install to HD. You can just start cygwin/X from the CD
directly without installing. It is AWESOME for running X apps on MS machines
quick and easy. When I write a new program and want to show it to co-workers
that are being punished with Doze only machines, all I have to do is have
them put the cd in the drive, bring up cygwin ssh -X to my box, and run my
app. Bingo!

Then when done close the app, remove the CD, and its as if nothing ever
happened. Wonderfull work!

wow, I just did my first ever ssh from a windows box to my SUSE
desktop, using cygwin!
