X Window and MAC

  • 24 Sep, 2014

I am using my MAC book as principal machine (i was a Windows user). Every day i need a ssh connection with servers to do admin tasks.

On windows i use Mobaxterm the best tool i used to do things using ssh.  My favorite feature is X Window to use graphical interfaces via x11 forward.

There is no Mobaxterm for Mac, so i installed XQuartz  http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/.

To use the X Window start your connection (after setup XQuartz) using ssh -X  user@server
