The option <tt>-Y</tt> forwards X11 traffic which allows you to use graphical applications on the remote server such as certain text editors. Note that to use graphical applications you also need to have an X11 server installed on your workstation. Under Linux an X11 server should normally already be installed but users of OS X will typically need to install an external package such as such [https://www.xquartz.org XQuartz]. Under windows, MobaXterm comes with an X11 server, while for PuTTY users, there is Xming (download [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xming/Xming/6.9.0.31/Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe installer] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming-fonts/7.5.0.47/Xming-fonts-7-5-0-47-setup.exe/download extra fonts]). The first time that you connect to a remote server you'll be asked to store a copy locally of its "host key", a unique identifier that allows the ssh client to verify, when connecting next time, that this is the same server. | The option <tt>-Y</tt> forwards X11 traffic which allows you to use graphical applications on the remote server such as certain text editors.
