Sshd Configure X Forwarding

Internal

• OpenSSH Server Operations

Server Configuration

Set

X11Forwarding yes

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart the sshd server.

Client

ssh -X user@host

Note that an X server has to run and be configured to accept connections. How to do this on Mac is described here:
