| | It's common to use ssh as remote command line client only but ssh can do much much more. Here two possibilities which i use frequently: 1) -X option. Server instalations often don't have functional X11 or even if have one they located at dedicated room, so you have to go maybe another stage to reach them. When i need to run GUI program on server i just start ssh session from my linux workstation: ssh -Xl root server After login i type command line mozilla & and get mozilla window on my desktop, but running at server! 2) If you want to transfer files to/from server, but don't want or can't install ftp server, use secure ssh ftp client - sftp. You don't need any additional server support except sshd. Enjoy! Let's add more ssh tips.  |
