You can run graphical applications, if you pass the -X option to ssh.
ssh -X user@host
And graphical results of the programs you run remotelly will be dispayed on your pc.
note:
1) for some servers this -X may be -Y
2) the server may simply refuse this
3) this option will not transfer sound
4) your pc must have the X Window System. i.e. running linux (for mac you should manually install it)
5) it may be a litle slow

All you have to do in ubuntu is to press CTRL + T or open the terminal (already installed), you won’t need any other software.
type in: ssh username@ip

That’s all, simple and done!

You don’t need”PuTTY potty” on Ubuntu, just open a terminal and use the SSH command – VERY simple to do. :/

So to SSH into ubuntulinuxhelp.com, the command would be something like:

ssh your-username@ubuntulinuxhelp.com

Putty is good to store all the different SSH servers you might connect to, so you don’t have to remember all the IP/hostnames and ports to connect to…

Hmm… Why would I install PuTTY, to show me the same thing that’s displayed in a terminal? PuTTY is so… “Windows”.

That’s like someone talking to me, but instead having another person relay to me, everything the other person says. Why? Just talk to the person direct. – Don’t need a middle-man.

Especially when the app your suggesting is buggy (like many other apps are): http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/#pending

The post was great until it suggested using PuTTY. :/

Hey dude, thx for posting this. As I suspected, the ssh part isn’t too bad. The problem must in the networks. I imagine that between 2 pcs on the same lan, all is good. Between 2 differents lans, you need to setup some port forwarding or something of the like. Between my PC at home and the server I set up inside my uni’s network…

Anyway, here’s a question. Can you start graphical applications? Can you even go crazy and run ‘startx’?
