If you would instead like to enable X11 forwarding on an individual user basis, you can use user-specific SSH configuration file (i.e., $HOME/.ssh/config). The above setup enables X11 forwarding system-wide on the server host. $ sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes $ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart Enable X11 Forwarding on a Per-User Basis Then, enable X11 forwarding in sshd, and restart sshd as follows.

If you would like to set up X11 forwarding over SSH, check out this guideline on both server-side and client-side configurations.
SSH has an option to securely tunnel such X11 connections, so that X11 forwarding sessions are encrypted and encapsulated. Behind the scene, the X11 output of a remotely running program is authorized to be sent to localhost via an X11 connection between client and a remote server. X11 forwarding is a mechanism that allows graphical interfaces of X11 programs running on a remote Linux server to be displayed on a local client machine.
