Xming is a software able to provide an X server on Windows allowing us to start from remote Linux applications.
Xming Linux applications in Windows
A few days ago we presented PuTTY, SSH and Telnet client open source multi-platform that allows us to remotely access the Linux shell from Windows. Thanks to the alert reader of our S Luca in this article we analyze Xming, an open source X server specifically for Windows that allows us then to be able to access and run Linux applications inside Microsoft Windows remotely using the SSH protocol.
With Xming we start from pc Windows applications on our PC Linux, examples we can start the text editor Gedit, see the weather forecast from Weather Gnome, Gnome access maps Maps etc. all from proprietary operating system from Microsoft.
I also remember that it is only a Xming X server, in order to start Linux applications we will use PuTTY, software that can install / start following this guide.
Once you start PuTTY can download Xming X Server for Windows by downloading it from this page (the version is outdated but works correctly in Windows 7 and 8).
After the installation from the Windows Menu we start Xming XLaunch, manager that allows us to manage the new graphical server, in our case we choose the option "Multiple Windows" with which we can start a dialog within a Linux application the proprietary operating system from Microsoft.
Without this we will have to start PuTTY SSH and go into the settings, as we also see from the image below what we have to do is check the "Enable X11 forwarding" set the data of the SSH connection, and click Open.
This opens the Linux terminal within Windows, now we just have to start the application from a terminal by typing its name, such as firefox, gedit, nautilus etc.. Now we use Linux applications in Windows, we can not, however, initiate, modify, or save files in Windows, we will be able to save them later on Windows using SSH always with the software WindSCP.
