O.P. X11 fowarding with windows
i have a red hat open ssh server with x11 fowarding enabled, atm i use putty to connect using the ssh, does anyone have much windows experience with x11 cos i have no idea where to go from here, i'm still currently researching but most of the articles i find either aren't for windows or are a bit confusing...
thanx ppl

RE: X11 fowarding with windows
I haven't done this exactly, but I find that if you install xvncviewer you can simply run VNC Viewer on Windows.

If you want to actually launch programs on Windows and put them onto that X Server, you could install them with Cygwin and use
DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:y <program name>
where x is your IP and y the display number (probably 0).

if all you need is a web browser, just run lynx or links in PuTTY

yes because the link is activated via a java applet to stop unauthorised people downloading it

and i don't just need a web browser that would download it from the server to my computer without saving it on the server

so... why not download it on your computer, and then upload the files to your server? ¬¬

cos i wanted to download them cos my download speed is slow means the files get sent through a slow connection and back up from a slow connection but i've done it now anyway
