Remote xwindows through SSH

Try this:

http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh

and run this command:

ssh-agent gnome-session

guidway

ssh -X ....
# requires that the server (sshd) allows X-forwarding

Or use VNC through ssh:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html

VNC is a bit like pcANYWHERE, but works on more platforms (notably *nix/X windows), and is ...free.

If the sshd config file has X-forwarding enable, then you can use X via ssh, if you have no control to the remote server and X-forward is disable at the other end just forget about it.

You can export your display:
I suppose your ip on local machine is a.b.c.d
and your remote box ip is d.c.b.a

connect to your remote box:
ssh user@d.c.b.a
then enter:
export DISPLAY=a.b.c.d:0

on your local machine type:
xhost +d.c.b.a

then if you want to run mozilla on the remote machine:
type:
mozilla &
the window will open on your local machine

Ssanka, beside you answer is wrong for a well configured sshd, would you please give your suggestions as comments instead of answers.

yes sorry it's just a wrong manipulation from me

You will require an X-Window client for Windows.  There are a number of commercial products available such as "Hummingbird Exceed" but a free alternative is CYGWIN. (http://cygwin.com/) (http://xfree86.cygwin.com/)

Once you have CYGWIN installed you should follow the procedures documented here to access your remote site.
