Running X window graphical application over ssh session

SSH the server has a feature called X11Forwarding. It specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted or not. You need to set this parameter to yes. Once this is enabled, you will be able to run a graphical application on the server and get the application display (window) on your desktop.

For example, login on Linux/BSD system called server1-mydomain-com. Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file using text editor:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Find out parameter X11Forwarding and set it to yes:

X11Forwarding yes
