graphical?
Connecting through telnet via ssh works fine, however nothing comes up
when I run graphical applications..
Of course, in my local computer, I set the startxwin from cygwin
correctly running. (I verified this by connecting to other remote
computer)
Is there any special program that I have to run in my remote
computer?
Thanks!!
similar but different things. You can "tunnel" x-windows through ssh,
but there is no way to do that with telnet. with SSH, you can also
tunnel file transfer functions and other remote terminal functions.
Once you have started X-windows on your PC using cygwin, ssh to remote
PC. Give the command
echo $DISPLAY
If you see something, then the X-windows tunnel has been established and
your X windows applications should run fine. However, if you see
nothing, then something has gone wrong. Try ssh -X to explicitly turn on
the X-windows tunneling.
I usually test my connections by running xterm, which is ubiquitous. If
xterm works, then all other X-windows applications will work.
