Let's say you're in a LAn with 2 hosts:

  • banana - centOS 7
  • walnut - Win7
And you want to redirect display from banana to walnut. How do you do it?

Install XMing on Windows 7

  • download XMing: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
  • install XMing
  • when installing don't forget to check to open the Windows Firewall for it.
  • start XMing XLunch
  • it will start a quick lunch icon.
  • Select Multiple windows and select display number based on how many concurrent XLaunch connections you'll have
  • Select Start a program
  • Tick Usign PuTTY and add computer, user, password
  • Save configuration
