X forwarding with putty on Windows
Intro to X forwarding

UNIX machines have been able to run software on a remote machine and display the GUI locally for almost two decades. linux and Mac OS X support x forwarding with no extra software. any terminal on Linux shocould do X forwarding, Mac users need to run "Applications> utilities> xterm ". in a command line terminal run "ssh-y jdoe@compute.example.edu Matlab" and you'll be running MATLAB on "compute.example.edu" but seeing it on your desktop.
Windows users need two pieces of software: An Secure Shell Program (SSH) to establish the remote connection and an X server to handle the local display.
