Welcome to the big Data and AI technical articles released by the public number: Qing Research Academy, where you can learn the night white (author's pen name) carefully organized notes, let us make a little progress every day, so that excellent become a habit!

In general, we telnet to a Linux server using unencrypted telnet or encrypted ssh. There is a feature of these login methods: Only the character interface can be logged in, and the programs with GUI interface cannot be run.

Sometimes in order to learn or work needs, we need to open a graphical interface of the Linux application, today to introduce a software: xming, with putty can be very good to complete our needs.

As we all know, putty is a client that is used to telnet to the Unix/linux server and can use protocols such as Telnet ssh.

So what is xming?

Xming is the leading X Window System server for Microsoft Windows 8/7/vista/xp (+ server 2012/2008/2003).  It's fully featured, small and fast, simple to install and because it's standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily made Portable (not needing a machine-specific installation).

In short, Xming is a graphical display based on the C/s architecture of X11 server, running on the local machine you use to log on to the remote server. At first, I was wondering: since it's running locally, why is it server, not client?

　　The Xming display principle is that each graphical application running on the remote server is a client that sends the graphical data to be displayed over SSH to the Xming server that is running locally and is then displayed by the Xming server. So, from the perspective of graphical display, xming is the server.

One: Installation of xming

Download to SourceForge: Http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/?source=typ_redirect, Xming and xming-fonts respectively.

As for the installation process, there is nothing to say.

II: Configuration of the Xming

　　

Three: Configuration of Unix/linux Server

Modify the configuration file of the server under which you want to log on, and add support for X11 forwarding:

sudo vi/etc/ssh/sshd_config: (at the end of the file, add the following configuration)

x11forwarding Yes

　　

Four: Configuration of putty
