I used to use putty to connect to my office computer and the supercomputer. It is very convenient if you just type in comand lines. But when it comes to graphic connection it’s a pain… Using Xming is fine but not very friendly and sometimes has problems. BTW you need to have admin privileges to launch Xserver.
However today I encountered this problem when I was using library computer trying to launch Xming.
I find a better tool when you have to open and edit some code files without admin rights: MobaXterm.
Nice!
Just ran some tests. I found it’s not very stable when using xserver… Most likely you will end up with failures in saving modified files ( I guess it uses some protocol similar to sftp to transfer our modified temporary file to the remote system… )
Nothing can be perfect=( Maybe time to go back to my simple putty.
