Viewing on remote PC
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. Perhaps someone could point me i the right direction. Thanks! -- White Hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!

Windows != Xwindows and you need xwindows to display xwindows programs. what you will need to do is either setup VNC server on your Freebsd machine and access it via VNC to get a desktop (realvnc, tridia and tight vnc are in ports,) or install X windows on your windows machine (and make sure X forwarding is enabled in ssh.) I'd probably VNC as its easier and faster except on high bandwidth links, but if you really want Xwindow on your windows machine www.cygwin.com or http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming are a good place to start.

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).
