Xming export display windows#
The xmanager on your workstation draws the GUI windows and does most of the work related to them. Note 2: In this configuration, PuTTY is only acting as a smart data transport channel for X11 GUI applications. The DISPLAY environment variable may seem strange, but it works! Note: When you use PuTTY's "Enable X11 forwarding" function, there is no need to set and export the DISPLAY environment variable manually: PuTTY and the server's sshd daemon will do it for you. (For testing, I usually start something simple first, like "xclock &" or "xterm &".) It is information only, not an error.Ħ.) Start GUI applications as necessary. A small X icon will be shown in the task tray normally located on the lower left-hand side of the tool bar: Next, properly connect the SSH client to the server. This is normal, if you haven't used PuTTY's X11 forwarding before. To launch Xming, navigate to Start Menu -> All Programs-> Xming-> Xming. usr/bin/X11/xauth: creating new authority file /home/ /.Xauthority If you have a pre-defined session, load it but don't click "Open" yet.ģ.) In Putty configuration, select Connection -> SSH -> X11 -> Enable X11 Forwarding.Ĥ.) Now click "Open" at the bottom of the Putty configuration dialog.
