Connecting to server

Connection through ssh

You can use ssh client available in Windows 10. On command line use:

ssh <username>@vyuka.compbio.fmph.uniba.sk

However, if you want more configurable client with a capability of tunneling application GUIs, you can install putty client instead.

Installation of X server

To use applications with GUIs, you need to tunnel X-server commands from the server to your local machine (this is accomplished by your ssh client), and you need a program that can interpret these commands on you local machine (this is called X server).

• Install X server, such as xming
• Make sure that X server is running (you should have "X" icon in your app control bar)
• Run putty, connect using ssh connection type and in your settings choose Connection->SSH->X11 and check "Enable X11 forwarding" box
• Login to the vyuka.compbio.fmph.uniba.sk server
• echo $DISPLAY command should show a non-empty string (i.e. localhost:11.0)
• Try running xeyes &
