I can successfully open a ssh -X
connection from host.home
to host.work
(both Mac OS X).
X11 is running on host.home
. When I start xterm
or xeyes
on host.work
I see it on host.home
, but if I start macvim it runs on host.work
, not in host.home
.
Is it possible to remotely use macvim on host.home
, or can only X11-enabled programs be used for remote interaction?
Best Answer
No, only X11 programs can be used remotely. Mac OS X native apps use a completely different toolkit. From this in the Apple Stack Exchange:
As a (not as good) solution you could use VNC.
