To set up SSH port forwarding, you simply need to enable that option in your client.

Most importantly, the transmission is secure.There are several reasons this is a preferred method to run X11 applications remotely: The result is that with very little configuration, this traffic is forwarded to your machine, encrypted in an SSH “tunnel”. This allows network traffic to be forwarded from the remote machine to your local box through SSH. Many, but not all SSH clients currently available support X11 Forwarding, and general port forwarding.
