X11 Forwarding

Here is the simple way of X-server's display forwarding on local machine. The only three things needed are :
1) Putty/ or any terminal client (I will use putty as example here)
2) Any x-client. (I will use X-ming for this example)
3) SSH must be supported by server.
Method:
1) Run the x-client in back ground
2) Open putty -> Type IP address of your server
3) On left hand pane, select SSH -> X11 -> Select X11 forwarding. as shown in figure.





Once done, then press Open button. Login as usual and then type xterm/xclock after logging in. Voila! Isn't it easy? hmmmm :-)

Saving Putty sessions

I often customize my environment and try to be consistant across variuos desktops. For saving putty session settings (exporting the session setting):

Goto : Start -> Run -> Type "regedit" -> In the GUI/window Goto My computer -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> SimonTatham -> Putty

Once you are at "putty", right click on "putty" and select "Export". Save the settings in a preferred location.

Once you are done, the registry setting files can be ported to other desktops/clients to make use of same configuration settings.

For importing the putty settings, just double click on the .reg file and it will append all the settings in the existing (if any) settings of putty.
