# x2goagent(1)

X2Go Agent.

## NAME

x2goagent - X2Go Agent.

## SYNOPSIS

**x2goagent** *\[options\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**x2goagent** is a wrapper around nxagent. The nxagent Xserver is an Xnest-like X server for remote application/desktop access.

**x2goagent** implements a very efficient compression of the X11 protocol.

This increases performance when using X applications over high latency and low bandwidth networks, while providing a local (LAN-like) usage experience even if connecting from off-site locations (via cable modem or GSM).

**x2goagent** is not designed to be used as a standalone application. It has to be launched on the server side by the X2Go server software.

Available clients are **x2goclient**, **pyhoca-gui** and **pyhoca-gui** (using the Python X2Go API).

## OPTIONS
