PuTTY SSH: === Connection with VNC and SSH Port Forwarding through an SSH tunnel ===
 1. Use Putty to login to your Linux box/server.
 1. Launch a vncserver{{{
vncserver -geometry 1920x1080 # The first time you will be asked to set a VNC password
}}}
 1. Remember your session number. In the example below it is number '''1''':{{{
New 'X' desktop is mylinuxbox:1
}}}
 1. Open the PuTTY configuration window
 1. Go to '''SSH''' >> '''X11''' in the left part of the window
 1. Check '''Enable X11 forwarding'''
 1. Go to '''SSH''' >> '''Tunnels''' and enter Source port: 590'''1'''. Furthermore add the following Destination: 127.0.0.1:590'''1'''
 1. Go back to '''Session''', enter a host name and a session name under "Saved Sessions" and click at "Save".
 1. Now start your VNC client and point to 127.0.0.1:590'''1''' and enter your VNC password from above.
Line 6: Line 20:
 1. Open the PuTTY configuration window in Start->Programs->Internet->PuTTY
 1. Choose SSH->Tunnels in the left part of the window
 1. Check 'Enable X11 forwarding' and enter 'localhost:0' in the X display location-window underneath
(!) 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'''.

SSH client:

 1. Open SSH client in Start->Programs->Internet->SSH client
 1. Open 'Settings..' in the Edit Menu

 1. Check !TunnelX11 connections

Alternatively, you can request at ISG support to install X-Win32 for you (please mention your computer). The newest version has integrated ssh support, and allows you to setup a 'rlogin'-style directly.

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