With ssh -x
I can run a GUI program over ssh. For example if I have a Linux machine with ssh and x11 enabled, I can run the (X-based) GUI programs (that are physically located on the Linux machine, and actually executing there) and run them from my Mac (i.e., displaying on the Mac, and taking input from the Mac keyboard and mouse).
If I want do the same thing on Windows (start a program on a Windows machine and control it with my Mac), how can I do it? For now I'm using TeamViewer, but I want to know if there is a solution where I can view only the program on my Mac and not all remote desktop.
(I already tried Citrix.)
Do Windows programs (e.g., Notepad, Microsoft Word, etc.) typically support X? – G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' – 2017-01-20T19:21:11.023
No, those apps don't support X, AFAIK. You can run X on Windows or Mac OS, but the native apps won't use it. – jimtut – 2017-01-21T01:44:31.720
