 |
|
Hi,
I have a server without X on this machine is one specific program (a Java program) that needs X to administrated a program.
I manage this server from a windows XP machine with ssh?
Is there a way that i can start this program and see this on the windows XP without X ore something else on the server side ?
TIA |

| If your java program absolutely requires an X server, you're going to have to provide one. So check out Cygwin/X -- an X server you can run on MS-Windows. Between that and ssh port-forwarding you should be able to work something out. |

| Does the configure tool modify some files on the disk or does it communicate with the server to make changes? |

thats not that difficult to set up either...
I used to run CygwinX on my work XP machine, and then literally, you SSH in to your home computer, startx, and away you go. I used to run firefox like that to avoid having to go through work's proxy server. heehee
CygwinX is available here:
http://x.cygwin.com/ (as above)
When you install it, choose a local mirror from the list, as you download the packages one by one whilst installing (make sure you install all the X and network packages you're gonna need!) typically, you're looking at 250+MB to do what you're after.

| Don't you still need some basic X libs to use X11 forwarding? On the server that is.... |
