 =X11 Forwarding= <!--T:3-->
-If working with graphical-based programs, X11 forwarding should be enabled. To do this, go to <i>Connection->SSH->X11</i> and check the <i>Enable X11 forwarding</i> checkbox. To use X11 forwarding one must install an <i>X window server</i> such as [http://www.straightrunning.com/xmingnotes/ Xming] or, for the recent versions of Windows, [https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ VcXsrv]. The X window server should be actually started prior to connecting with SSH. Test that X11 forwarding is working by opening a PuTTY session and running a simple GUI-based program, such as typing the command <code>xclock</code>. If you see a popup window with a clock, X11 forwarding should be working.
