i am connected with cygwin to a ssh server
there i want to open a application via x11-forwarding
i use xming as x11 server on my windows machine
now in putty i had the possibility to automatically forward x11 and so i dont need to export my DISPLAY, thats not a problem i can set it every time i connect to the server.
but if i export my DISPLAY, it wont start the application it always says:
Error: Can't open display: xxx.xx.xx.xx
i really liked the way putty worked and want to user cygwin.
i tried Cygwin/X but there always opens another terminal which i dont really like. i like to open my application from my existing standart cygwin terminal where i also connect to the server
is there any way doing this?!
i startet the xserver with the following command and after that i could start the programms automatically on my remote ssh server and it was forwarded automatically to my xserver
startxwin -- -listen tcp &
after this i even didnt have to set the DISPLAY
I usually access Jupyter notebook running on Linux from Mac OS X via port forwarding like following:

Is it possible to do similar thing from Windows 10 instead of Mac OS? I guess putty or WSL offer one.

You can create an SSH tunnel to connect to the Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab web interface using PUTTY on windows.
Download the latest version of PUTTY
Open PUTTY and enter the server URL or IP address as the hostname
Now, go to SSH on the bottom of the left pane to expand the menu and then click on Tunnels
Enter the port number which you want to use to access Jupyter on your local machine. Choose 8000 or greater (i.e. 8001, 8002, etc.) to avoid ports used by other services, and set the destination as localhost:8888 where :8888 is the number of the port that Jupyter Notebook is running on. Now click the Add button, and the ports should appear in the Forwarded ports list.
Click the Open button to connect to the server via SSH and tunnel to the desired ports.
In the PUTTY terminal, run Jupyter, where the default port is 8888
jupyter lab --no-browser or jupyter-notebook --no-browser
Copy the server path into the browser on your local system and navigate to the notebook
http://localhost:8888/lab?token=... or http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=...
Note:
If running remotely to your employer, a VPN connection will probably be required.
As an addendum to this answer, this screenshot shows how putty config looks like:
On the Linux machine, I then start Jupyter with:
jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8889
Finally, on the windows (or any remote machine) I enter localhost:8888 in the browser.
It asks for the token, that is provided at the shell of the Linux machine.
--
Note which port refers to which machine, I have the notebook on port 8889, the browser calls it at localhost:8888
I solved this problem by myself. My solution is using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This offers (virtual?) Linux console like Ubuntu. I just use ssh with -L option on it.
Follow the steps below.
step1- Download putty.
step2- Insert ip address or hostname.
step3- Go to SSH and expand.
step4- Add address of jupyter-notebook to destination column ex: localhost:6666. Add local port such as 8000 to source and press add button. Then connect, it should work.
I wanted to use the VPN Server feature of my cable box to enable remoting into my network, especially to run jupyter notebook. For my situation, probably not quite the same as anyone elses, this works fine.
On the cable box, be sure to enable the VPN Server and enable external access.
On the remote Windows 10 computer, add a PPTP VPN specifying cable box's external IP. Connect to the VPN. Verify you can access the network. e.g. You should be able to see the cable box's webpage.
On the Jupyter serving computer, in Windows Defender Firewall, you need to create a new Inbound Rule for a Port.
3.1. General-> Enabled, Allow the connection
3.2. Protocols and Ports-> TCP, 8888
3.3. Scope-> Private
On the Jupyter serving computer, invoke Jupyter (e.g 192.168.0.1, port 8888):
jupyter-notebook --ip 192.168.0.1 --port 8888 --no-browser
On the remote computer, you should now be able to access your Jupyter server by browsing to http://192.168.0.8:8888/tree
I have a bit of a peculiar setup: On a Windows 10 host, I have an Ubuntu VirtualBox guest running. I use an SSH terminal with X11 forwarding to launch PhpStorm directly from the guest and display it on my host. My web server is also on the VM, and I access it from my host machine's browsers with a virtual host such as, say, http://local.dev.
This setup works rather nicely, allowing me to skip copying my server files to the host to edit them with a host-based PhpStorm. However, I have difficulties properly getting XDebug to run on the host machine's browser.
The only way I've managed to debug things is by adding ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START at the end of URLs I launch from my host browser, however this only works for breakpoints in immediately executed code, rather than AJAX calls, as I get the following PhpStorm message after the page is loaded:
16:53:02 Debug session was finished without being paused
It may be caused by path mappings misconfiguration or not synchronized local and remote projects.
How to set up XDebug on the VM to allow debugging from the host browser? I've tried mapping paths, however it seems to make no sense, as for PhpStorm and XDebug the files aren't on a remote host.
I'm using MobaXterm to open a Gnome desktop session on a remote system from my Windows 7 workstation with SSH and X11 forwarding. It all works very well, the remote machine is a calculation cluster that runs on CentOS. The only drawback is that MobaXterm doesn't seem to catch keyboard shortcuts like "alt+tab", which gets really annoying on the long run.
Is there another SSH client that would allow me to do what I'm doing now but with keyboard shortcut recognition?
Networking is not a strong skill set of mine and I'm new to VirtualBox..so here we go -
I've got a Windows (XP) VM running on VirtualBox. I am able to use remote desktop to connect to the VM with no problems.
The Problem: I need to connect to another network via VPN on the virtual machine. However, once connected, all local network resources become unavailable. As a result, my remote desktop session is disconnected.
Question: Is there another way to remotely access the VM? Is there some way that VirtualBox can route me to the VM without using the Windows RDC functionality so that I can have an active VPN connection but still control the VM remotely.
Should have done some more research. This feature is already built into VirtualBox. You can log into the VM through the host machine.
All you have to do is turn on remote display in the settings for the VM and choose the port that you want to use (make sure to make appropriate firewall changes). Then you remote to that port on the host machine.
Ex: Host machine has an IP of 192.168.1.200 and you set up port 3395 for the remote display - you would open Remote Desktop Connection and use 192.168.1.200:3395 and it would open the VM.
