Title: bitcoin-qt over ssh Post by: glowkeeper on June 25, 2013, 01:31:19 PM I am trying to run bitcoin-qt from my from ubuntu server onto my windows 7 machine. How do you do that?
I have cygwin, and have started the X server. But when I run ssh -X user@ubuntu machine, bitcoin-qt says it cannot connect to my X server. I also have putty, with X11 forwarding enabled. That doesn't work either (same error). Any help greatly appreciated.....

I missed that cygwin has an X server. Sorry. I haven't looked at cygwin in a long time and at that time I didn't see any X server.

Perhaps I'm not setting DISPLAY properly before running bitcoin-qt? I've tried a number of things and I'm not certain which it should be....

When I last used cygwin (in 2007 I think) it worked like a charm to do X forwarding. Note however that in any case you should be able to use the command-line bitcoind RPC calls. I do this from time to time (although GNU/Linux to GNU/Linux) and it works without any problems or caring about X.

You can't use bitcoin-qt as a RPC client.Sorry to hijack the topic, grue, are you aware then of a bitcoin RPC client that could connect to a bitcoind running on a distant machine? It seems it exists for android, what about windows and linux?

Title: Re: bitcoin-qt over ssh Post by: SnitraM on June 28, 2013, 08:42:26 AM bitcoind. Look at e. g. -rpcconnect=<ip>. (I haven't actually tried this.) Ok, if it's possible good to know. However having bitcoin-qt or any other software with a GUI doing the same would be useful. Just use the tools that are there. Tunnel with ssh if you really need this. Something like "ssh -NL localhost:6666:your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to:8332 your.user@your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to" and then run "bitcoin-qt -rpcport=6666 -rpcuser=whatever.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to -rpcpassword=xxx.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to" Again, I haven't tried this (with bitcoin-qt). I have tunnelled with ssh. Title: Re: bitcoin-qt over ssh Post by: glowkeeper on June 29, 2013, 05:46:56 PM Again, I haven't tried this (with bitcoin-qt). I have tunnelled with ssh. How? Like you show above? That's tunneling, isn't it?

I have tunnelled with ssh. That didn't work for me :( Am I just being thick? I can't see where the port 8332 fits in the chain... Title: Re: bitcoin-qt over ssh Post by: tiktoc on June 29, 2013, 10:50:37 PM port 8332 is the rpc port on the remote bitcoind you want to connect to through the tunnel.
