------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Putty using authentication Keys (no password) See http://www.tartarus.org/~simon/puttydoc/Chapter8.html And http://www.ornl.teragrid.org/guides/puttygen.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X Windows on PC Window Machines Using "Xwin-32" X emulator with the SSH client "Putty" Run "Putty", BUT BEFORE you log into the UNIX machine, look at the preferences and in particular "Security" and "Tunneling". Look for a checkbox marked 'X11 forwarding' or 'X Window Tunneling' and enable it. Complete the rest of the setup for connecting to the remote UNIX machine, and then SAVE IT as a session configuration. This will allow you to just pick this connection again, and automatically have the "X11 Forwarding" enabled. Now that you have enabled X windows, and save it, log into the UNIX machine. Once you are logged into gucis, check that you have a X window connection by typing... echo $DISPLAY If successfull you will see something like gucis:10.0 You don't have to do the every time, just at this point and if you have problems at a future date. Now all you have to use an X window program, is start the "Xwin-32". This should be configured to use "Multiple Client windows", and NOT a "single window". Also under "Security" enable access from "localhost", as that is where the emulator will see the connection comming from. Test this with... xlogo After a moment a graphical window with a colorful stylish X should appear, or you get an error messge in yoru terminal window. To get rid of the X, go to the terminal window and type CTRL-C (hold down the 'CTRL' key then press 'C' at the same time. You can now run any graphical X window program you like on the UNIX machine. Just login with "Putty" then when you want to run a X window program launch "XWin-32" and run the program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
