hi ! you can and you SHOULD use ssh for that purpose. it gives you - security - performance gain because of optional compression of the datastream
read the ssh documentation and watch out for "X11 tunneling" and "compression" options of ssh. If you are windows user, then i would recommend using putty - it`s a free ssh client for windows. since X over wan-link generally _is_ sluggish (latency problems) i would recommend using Nomachine NX (www.nomachine.com) - it`s being created just because of that reason. another solution to adress the latency and bandwidth problem: give vnc (e.g. tightvnc) a try. regards roland [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 17.11.03 22:52:09: > > Hello, > > At home I have an ADSL connection (750 kbps / 96kbps) > My university has a very good connection. > > If I try to use a graphical application remotely it runs very slow. > It takes dozens of seconds to start and everything take lots of time. > > Can I expect to get a reasonable graphical connection in this setting? > > Can I do something (install something or change the configuration) in > either of the sides to improve the situation? > > Thanks, > Yuval Scharf > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > XFree86 mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 ______________________________________________________________________________ WEB.DE FreeMail wird 5 Jahre jung!
