Hi,
I have this problem with remote display. I ssh from the client to
the server
and want to display a file stored on the server on the screen of the
client.
But whenever I type display at the client's side, the image show up
on the
server's side. Could anybody please help me with this?
Your message is really hard to parse. You're using terms like
'server' and 'client' in ambiguous ways. What is the machine the
client for and what is it the server for. I assume you have an X11
server running on your local machine, you ssh from this machine
(making it the ssh client) to the remove machine (the ssh server).
You then run 'display mypicture.png' on the remote system, and it is
displayed on your local machine's X11 server.
Is that not the case? What do you expect or want to happen?
display is an X11 application that is part of ImageMagick. It
connects to whatever X11 server is defined in the $DISPLAY environment
variable.
