RE: Using PuTTY with an SSH Server
your win2000 desktop is configured with an IP address, right? Let's say it's
1.64.34.214
connect to your debian box, set DISPLAY to
1.64.34.214:0
and it should work. Note that SSH isn't relevant at this point, you have a
session on your debian box that will then try to open any x-windows programs
on the remote display on your computer. You may have to fiddle with the
security settings on Exceed, not sure.
I use a similar configuration with windows NT and X-winpro. It works OK.

Subject: Using PuTTY with an SSH Server
I am using the latest (stable) release of PuTTY on Win2000 Professional
to connect to a Debian server running OpenSSH. I have also installed
Hummingbird Exceed 6.2 on the Win2000 machine.
It seems that PuTTY doesn't support X forwarding. So how do I go about
displaying X clients on my Win2000 desktop which has a working X server
(Exceed) ?
I tried setting $DISPLAY to :0.0 while connected to my Debian server,
but that didn't work ?
I need to figure out how to display X clients on my Win2000 desktop
while being logged into the Debian box using PuTTY.
Thanks for any info.
