Hi,
Thanks about the reply and sorry about the confusions. So this is what I mean:
server, running x11, has an image A
client, ssh into server, running x11 as well, type imagemagick command display, and want image A to appear at the client's side.
However, every time I typed imagemagick command display, the image showed up at the server's side.
I hope I made myself clear.
thanks,
Linge

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.
