How to start a GUI software on a remote Linux server from windows via SSH?

100 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to open Matlab software installed in remote Linux server from my Windows 7 PC. I am using SSH secure shell to connect with the Linux server. After successful connection, I am able to see and access the folders under my user account. I am able to start Matlab software using the following command in the SSH secure shell window:
[sushma@scorpio home]$ matlab
On doing so the following message gets displayed on the SSH secure shell window:
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering. No protocol specified

From the above message it seems that the software is running. I want to access the GUI of the software.

I solved it using another windows ssh client for now but it would still be interesting why putty has issues with this in case you encountered the same problem.

Hi Miriam,
Which ssh client did you use? I've tried both Putty and MobaXterm and neither have worked for me.
Thanks!
