RE: [expert] Telneting to the server

[Ken Wilson]

Do we possibly mean an X client, not a server?  The X server already resides on the Linux Box, how else does your X-windows run on your Linux box without it.  I think what you need is a client on the Window's box that can connect to the Linux box's X-server.

 

I know with the VNC package there are two parts, the VNC client which resides on the recieving machine and the VNC server which handles the connection of the VNC client to the X server.  The VNC server gets installed on the same box as the X-windows server.

Hi!

You're right, you have to install an X server on your windows box (you can find free or sharewares on the web).

Then, just telnet on the linux server and run your application like this :
appli -display <IP-Address-of-the-windows-machine>:0 &

Hi,

I would like to telnet to my linux server and execute X WIndow apps on my
windows client. Do I require a X Window emulator installed on my win 95
system?

Can someone let me know the procedure to do this.

Thanks
Sridhar
