Xming may be used with implementations of Secure Shell (SSH) to securely forward X11 sessions from other computers. It supports PuTTY and ssh.exe, and comes with a version of PuTTY's plink.exe.
The Xming project also offers a portable version of PuTTY. When SSH forwarding is not used, the local file Xn.hosts must be updated with host name or IP address of the remote machine where the GUI application is started. The software has been recommended by authors of books on free software when a free X server is needed, and described as simple and easier to install though less configurable than other popular free choices like Cygwin/X. Since May 2007, payment must be made to download new releases. Purchasing a license will allow the user access to new downloads for one year however, MIT-licensed releases (referred to by the author as " public domain" releases) can still be downloaded with no payment on SourceForge. ^ "Alexander Gottwald - mingw only xserver".^ "Alexander Gottwald - New Cygwin/X and Xming maintainer wanted".
