Note: These instructions assume you are using the version of PuTTY built into and distributed with Xming. It uses PuTTY, a built-in SSH client, to forward the display. Xming is a freely available X server for Windows. The easiest thing to do on Windows is to use the free personal version of MobaXterm which includes an X11 server: Using Xming on Windows

To end the session, quit all remote applications, type exit to close the SSH connection.

After connecting, the remote machine will display a standard prompt, as with normal connections, but remote applications with a graphical user-interface will automatically use the local display. Ssh -CX Authenticate using your SUNet ID password. Ssh -X some cases, enabling compression by specifying the -C option can improve performance, especially when connecting from outside the campus network: (If the -X option doesn't work try -Y.) For example: You must specify the -X option to enable display forwarding.

In xterm, connect to any Stanford timeshare using the ssh command.

You may need to restart your computer after the installation of XQuartz, so try that if the following doesn't immediately work for you.

If no terminal window opens, start one by selecting Terminal from the File menu or pressing COMMAND + N.

Verify that XQuartzВ is installed and launch the XQuartz application (located in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder).В An xterm window should open by default.

You can download the XQuartz application at MacOSForge. XQuartz is a free X11 server implementation for OS X. Because secure connections are required in the Stanford timeshare environment, SSH must be used to encrypt the X-windows connection most SSH clients have built-in support for X display forwarding. X-windows is the native display technology on UNIX and Linux systems and is designed for networked use. X-windows (X11) is recommended for most users, but VNC is useful when certain applications fail to run properly under X-windows, or when a persistent connection to the remote display is required.В See Using VNC for information about VNC. Two methods are currently supported: X-windows and VNC.
