Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi: I have two computers. Computer A is behind a firewall. Computer B is not. I can establish an ssh connection from A to B but not visa versa. Once that connection is established, I can transfer files back and forth. If I can move data back and forth, shouldn't it be possible to shuttle an xterm back and forth? Essentially I want to get an xterm of A while sitting at B. One thought is to open the connection from A and forward an xterm back to B. That way when I arrive at B, I will have the xterm to A waiting for me. Is this possible or something that achieves the same result? Specific examples would be greatly appreciated.
