Linux §Īlmost all Linux versions that have a graphical desktop use an X server to provide it, so you don't have to install a separate one. When you connect with X-Forwarding enabled, the XQuartz server program should start automatically, ready to present remote windows. If you download and install that, you can follow the Linux instructions below. The most commonly used X server for macOS is XQuartz. Like Windows, macOS doesn't come with an X server to receive X windows. You can now click "Open" to start the connection, or you can return to the "Session" options to save this setup. Check the box labelled "Enable X11 Forwarding". The main pane should change to one labelled "Options controlling SSH X11 forwarding". To do this, first fill in the details for your PuTTY connection as normal with the hostname and any other details you'd normally use to connect, and then, in the pane labelled "Category" on the left, click the "+" next to "SSH" and then select "X11". When you run the Exceed program, it will automatically wait in the background until you run a remote application, so you only have to configure PuTTY to pass the data through. First, install the main package, then the 3D package. You can download both parts from the Exceed page in the UCL Software Database. Installing Exceed §Įxceed comes in two parts: the main package, and the add-on that handles certain types of rendered 3D content. There are a few choices UCL has a site-wide license (covering UCL-owned and personal computers) for one called Exceed, which is pretty reliable and seems to handle 3D content well, but there's also Xming, which is free and open-source if that's a concern.Įxceed is installed on all UCL's centrally-managed Windows computers. Windows doesn't natively have the ability to receive X windows, so you need to install an X server separately. The setup steps for getting this working on Windows, Linux, and macOS are each different, and we've put them below. We use a method known as X-Forwarding, together with an SSH client, to direct the network messages for X over the same connection you use for the command-line. X is a system and protocol that lets remote computers push interactive windows to your local computer over a network.
