i'm managing a server in my local network remotely using ssh. From a graphical command terminal in my laptop i issue the following command:
ssh -l root server1
This way, i get a command shell for server1 on my laptop screen. But, when i want to edit a file on the server with a graphical tool, like gedit, i get the following message:
(gedit:5880): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I'd like to edit the file in my laptop display. Is there any way to do this?
I'd appreciate any help.
Try adding the -X or -Y option to your ssh command. See "man ssh" for details.
