[-- Attachment #1 --] Why don't you try tight vnc for this(server running vnc and WinXpee running vnc client. http://www.tightvnc.com/ PuTTY (the Telnet and SSH client itself) * PSCP (an SCP client, i.e. command-line secure file copy) * PSFTP (an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTP) * PuTTYtel (a Telnet-only client) * Plink (a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends) * Pageant (an SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink) * PuTTYgen (an RSA and DSA key generation utility). From my shell if I login threw [user@myserver]$ ssh -X <remote machine> and after logging in I can use different X based utilities of remote machine. [user@remote_machine] firefox & ^Opens firefox browser of remote machine. regards anugunj "anuj" On Wed, 2007-02-14 at 04:47 -0800, White Hat wrote: > FreeBSD-6.2 > > I have a FBSD computer that I need to access via ssh from a WinXP machine running 'putty'. I am using ssh certificates for authorization. No problem there. I can do anything I want when I access the FBSD machine in this manner, except run something like KDE or XFCE4. I thought I made all of the required changes to the ssh_config and sshd_config as well as 'putty', but evidently not. > > Situation: > > I have 'startx' set to start 'xfce4' presently. If I type: 'startx' while logged in via ssh, xfce4 will start on the FBSD machine just fine. However, on the WinXP PC with 'putty', all I see are the start up messages on the screen. The actual GUI, etc. never appears. This makes using the program impossible from a remote location. > > I am sure I am doing something really stupid here.
