Connect with Xstart

Xstart supports SSH, TELNET, RLOGIN, REXEC, RSH, and LOCAL protocols. To use each protocol, the corresponding service daemon must be executed in the remote host. The LOCAL protocol is used when an X application is in the user's PC.

To Run X Application with SSH Protocol:

1. Run Xstart from the Tools folder of the Xmanager folder.
2. Click [New]. The New Session dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter new session name and click [OK].
4. Enter remote UNIX/Linux host name or IP address in [Host].
5. Select SSH from [Protocol] list.
6. Click [Setup] to set SSH protocol options, such as port number or encryption options.
   • Note
     For more information on SSH Protocol Settings, see 'SSH Protocol Setup of Xstart sessions'.
7. Enter remote host user account name in [User Name].
8. Select an authentication method in [Authentication] and set password, etc.
   • Note
     For more information on each authentication method's settings, see 'Xstart User Authentication Setting'.
9. Enter a command to run in the remote host in [Command]. To run xterm, enter a command as follows: /usr/bin/X11/xterm –ls
   • Note
     For SSH connections, the DISPLAY variables are automatically set with the values decided by the SSH server.
10. Click [Run].

To Run Remote X Application with the TELNET Protocol:

1. Run Xstart.
2. Click [New]. The New Session dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter a new session name and click [OK].
4. Enter the remote UNIX/Linux host name or IP address in [Host].
5. Select TELNET from [Protocol] list.
6. Click [Setup] to set TELNET protocol options, such as port or timeout.
   • Note
     The connection method for RLOGIN, REXEC, and RSH protocols is similar to connections with the TELNET protocol. Set port and timeout in the Protocol Setup dialog box. The default port numbers in each protocol are as follows TELNET: 23 REXEC: 512 RLOGIN: 513 RSH: 514
     After a successful login, a shell is allocated by the TELNET and RLOGIN server in the remote host and Xstart executes the command in the shell prompt. Xstart closes the connection after the designated timeout and the login shell is ended at the same time. If timeout is 0, connection is not closed while Xmanager is running. If a shell is closed, X applications executed on the shell may also close.
7. Enter the remote host user account in [User Name].
8. Only Password can be selected in [Authentication]. Click [Setup] to enter the password.
9. Enter a command to be executed in the remote host in [Command]. To run xterm, enter the following command: /usr/bin/X11/xterm –ls –display $DISPLAY
10. Click [Run].

To Run Local X Applications with Xstart:

1. Run Xstart.
2. Click [New]. The New Session dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter a new session name and click [OK].
4. Select LOCAL from the [Protocol] list.
5. Enter overall local command path in [Command].
6. Click [Run].
