How to access remote host applications.

How to run X(gedit, meld, eclipse etc.,) applications in the remote session and have them display their windows on your PC.

This is how one can achieve it:

a) First add remote ipaddr to ur server access control program using xhost.
$xhost +192.168.1.14 (remote m/c ipaddr)

b) Login to remote m/c using "-X" flag
$ssh -X user@192.168.1.14

c) u r done, just execute any command & have fun
$gedit

Note:This will work from ur linux box or tools like Xmanager etc.,
But if u want ur putty to do this work for u, then follow this link "How to configue putty to access X applications".
