=X11 Forwarding=

===Prerequisites for remotely displaying applications===

For this X11 Forwarding to work requires it will require your Amahi server to have an a X server installed.  If you installed Amahi via the express CD you can install the X server with the following commands: ====Commands For Installing X Server on Express Installation==== Become root:  su - Enter your password for the root user  yum -y install Xorg ====Configuring X11Forward on Amahi Server==== Second is the ability to receive ssh connections (configured by default). Finally, ssh must be configured to allow X11 forwarding. Check ''/etc/ssh/ssh_config '' and make sure the directive is set:   X11Forward yes

From the client machine, where you want the application to be displayed, you ssh into the remote system so you have a command prompt. The can attained using the ssh command. When using the ssh command we need to use the ''-X '' flag, this tells ssh that we plan to tunnel x traffic through the tunnel:

ssh -X user@hda  Enter your password at the login prompt. You should see the prompt change into ''[user@localhost ~]$ '' Once logged in, run the following command to see a file window:   nautilus

===Trusted X11 Forwarding===

If the ''/etc/ssh/ssh_config sshd_config'' file on the Amahi server contains the following line (set by default):   ForwardX11Trusted yes

ssh -Y user@hda  ===Compressed X11 Forwarding=== When using slower links, X11 data can be compressed using the ''-C'' flag:

ssh -Y -C user@hda
