How can I connect to X-servers via Putty SSH client?
Connection with VNC and SSH Port Forwarding through an SSH tunnel
- Use Putty to login to your Linux box/server.
Launch a vncserver
vncserver -geometry 1920x1080 # The first time you will be asked to set a VNC password
Remember your session number. In the example below it is number 1:
New 'X' desktop is mylinuxbox:1
- Open the PuTTY configuration window
Go to SSH >> X11 in the left part of the window
Check Enable X11 forwarding
Go to SSH >> Tunnels and enter Source port: 5901. Furthermore add the following Destination: 127.0.0.1:5901
Go back to Session, enter a host name and a session name under "Saved Sessions" and click at "Save".
Now start your VNC client and point to 127.0.0.1:5901 and enter your VNC password from above.
In case of other running VNC servers, your session number could be higher than :1. In this case, go again through all the steps from above with the current session ID and change all numbers written in bold.

Alternatively, you can write us an email to support@ee.ethz.ch requesting a X-Server for Windows (please mention your computer).
