How can I connect to X-servers via Putty SSH or SSH Client?

PuTTY SSH:

  1. Open the PuTTY configuration window in Start->Programs->Internet->PuTTY

  2. Choose SSH->Tunnels in the left part of the window

  3. Check 'Enable X11 forwarding' and enter 'localhost:0' in the X display location-window underneath

SSH client:

  1. Open SSH client in Start->Programs->Internet->SSH client

  2. Open 'Settings..' in the Edit Menu
  3. Choose 'Tunneling' in the left part of the window

  4. Check TunnelX11 connections

Alternaltively, you can install X-Win32 from Add/Remove Programs, the newest version has integrated ssh support, and allows you to setup a 'rlogin'-style directly.
