Running Java Swing Program in Linux through Telnet

[bytespaulraj]

We have RHEL5 server. We could able to run Java programs through telnet

But When we run Java Swing (GUI) we are getting GTK error

Please help us to eliminate this error.

Hi!
I'm guessing, you've not chosen to forward the X-Servers output. Therefore GTK doens't know where to display to.
I'm not quite sure how to do that with telnet, but with ssh it would be

ssh -X address-of-the-server

I'd recommend using ssh anyway, as it's much safer than telnet.

Sure! Try using PuTTY - there's documentation available on that site too.

As far as I know, there is little difference between how you use telnet and how you use ssh, although PuTTY offers a GUI for configuration (but I think you can use it with just the command line too).

If you have any specific questions, you can't solve with the documentation, don't hesitate to ask here. :-)
