It works for multiple jumps too. You just have to enable X11 forwarding either in the appropriate config files or do it on the commandline. Note that it's possible that a severely paranoid sysadmin may well have disabled it in the sshd service on one or more of the machines that you're ssh'ing to. # my workstation has ForwardX11=yes in ~/.ssh/config ssh host1 # then from there: ssh -X host2 On host 2, running a gui app pops it up on my local desktop. -- Regards...
