NAME
rxtelnet – start a telnet and forward X-connections.
SYNOPSIS
rxtelnet [-l username] [-k] [-t telnet_args] [-x xterm_args] [-K kx_args] [-w term_emulator] [-b telnet_program] [-n] [-v] host [port]
DESCRIPTION
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.
If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding.
The supported options are:
- -l
-
Log in on the remote host as user username.
- -k
-
Disables keep-alives.
- -t
-
Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet.
- -x
-
Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm.
- -X
-
Send kx_args as arguments to kx.
- -w
-
Use term_emulator instead of xterm.
- -b
-
Use telnet_program instead of telnet.
- -n
-
Do not start any terminal emulator.
- -v
-
Be verbose.
EXAMPLE
To login from host foo (where your display is) to host bar, you might do the following.
-
On foo: rxtelnet bar
-
You will get a new window with a telnet to bar. In this window you will be able to start X clients.
